Question
A tie bar is welded to a plate as shown in the figure find the strength of the weld if the size of fillet is 6 mm and working, stress of fillet Weld is 100 MPa .
A.
106 KN
B.
126 kN
C.
116 kN
D.
136kN
Answer ( Option B)

126 kN

Solution

Size of fillet weld,
s = 6 mm
Working stress of fillet weld,
τ = 100 MPa = 100 N/mm²
The tie bar is welded on three sides.
Total length of weld, 
L = 100 + 100 + 100
L = 300 mm
Effective throat thickness of fillet weld,
t = 0.7s
t = 0.7 × 6
t = 4.2 mm
Strength of weld,
P = t × L × τ
P = 4.2 × 300 × 100
P = 126000 N
P = 126 kN
