Weld Leg Size, ws Weld Throat Thickness, tr Fillet Weld Joint Efficiency, E Allowable Welding Stress for Steel Grade 43 (E-43) Critical Weld Cross-Section Properties Area of Weld, Aw = ( 2*(tr**D) Shear Stress, Ssx = (W/Aw) Allowable Welding Stress, Sa = (E*Sa) Since Ssx <

6 mm 4.242 mm 0.6 125 N/mm

399.80 mm 3.68 N/mm 75.00 N/mm Satisfactory

Sa, therefore the selected weld size is

Rod Deflection Max. Deflection Due to Vertical Load = -0.5*(WL3/3EI) Max. Deflection Due to Moment = -0.5*(WL3/2EI)
