SITUATION (MAY 2015)

Given the following data for the welded bracket c P

shown in the figure:


a = 125 mm b = 250 mm c = 250 mm
Allowable shear stress of weld metal is Fvw = 145 Fillet weld
b
MPa
1.If P = 160 kN and acts at the centroid of the weld a
group, what is the maximum force per unit length
experienced by the weld?
2. If P = 160 kN and acts at a certain eccentricity as
shown in the figure, what is the maximum force per
unit length experienced by the weld?
