For a double transverse fillet joint the allowable load is twice that of the

total allowable load is
P = 2 ss At .
In designing a weld joint the design variables are h and l . They can be
selected based on the above design criteria. When a combination of
transverse and parallel fillet joint is required (see figure-10.4.4) the allowable
load is

Ans. According to the design principle of fillet (transverse) joint the weld is
designed assuming maximum shear stress occurs along the throat area. Since
tensile strength is specified the shear strength may be calculated as half of
tensile strength, i.e., ss = 35 MPa . Assuming there are two welds, each weld

where the symbols have usual significance. For given data, the throat thickness
is 6.8 mm. Assuming equal base and height of the fillet the minimum size is 9.6
mm. Therefore a fillet weld of size 10 mm will have to be used.
