TYPES OF BUTT OR GROOVE WELD

1
A. DESIGN STRENGTH OF SOLID PLATE IS GOVERNED BY YIELDING (IS 800-2007
PG.NO:32)
𝐴𝑔 .𝑓𝑦
 Design strength of solid plate due to yielding = Tdg =
𝑌𝑚0

B. DESIGN STRENGTH OF WELDED JOINTS (IS 800-2007 CL. 10.5.7.1 PG.NO:79)

𝑓𝑢.
 Design strength of fillet weld = fwd = x At
√3. 𝑌𝑚𝑤
 At = Lw x te
 Lw = length of weld
 te = Effective thickness of weld (throat thickness)
 For single v butt weld te = 5/8 times of thickness of thinner
plate
 For double v butt weld te = thickness of thinner plate
 For fillet weld = kxs
 K = 0.7 (table 22: page 78)
 S = size of fillet weld (IS 800: 2007 cl. 10.5.8. pg.79,80)
 Minimum size of fillet weld (IS 800: 2007 table 21 pg.78)
 Maximum size of fillet weld (IS 800: cl. 10.5.8. pg.79,80)
 EDGE CONDITIONS
 Square edge = edge thickness = 1.5mm
 Round edge = ¾ times of edge thickness
 Size of weld between minimum and maximum
𝑓𝑢. 𝐿𝑤 .𝑡𝑒
 Therefore Design strength of fillet weld = fwd =
√3. 𝑌𝑚𝑤

C. EFFECTIVE LENGTH OR AREA OF WELD (IS 800-2007 CL. 10.5.4 PG.NO:78)

 Le = Lw +2S
