WELD DESIGN CAL. OF GUSSET PLT TO TOP/BOT. CHORD
Weld no. 2
Partial Penetration weld
Design Shear shear (kN) Vu 400
calculate eccentricity:
y1, mm h (B1+80)/ [2*sqrt(v^2+h^2)] 120
y, mm y1+40+Ha/2 435
x, mm y*h/v 240
x1, mm y1*v/h 217
eccentricity,e mm x+x1 457
Induced Moment, M (kN-m) M (Vu*e) 183
Flange axial force due to moment, Fa2 Fa2 = M/ (Ha-tfa) 420
Design Axial Force per flange (kN) Fa1 = Nu/2 150
Total Flange forces, Fat (kN) Fat1 = Fa1+ Fa2 570
Fat2 = Fa1-Fa2 -270
Critical Design force, Fat (kN) max abs( Fa1,Fa2 ) 570
Note: Direct shear force is assumed carried by web
Length of weld, lw (mm) lw = Ba 448
Design strength of thicker plate (MPa) py = BS5950 295
Weld Design Strength pw = py 295
Req'd effective weld detph (mm) se = fat*1000/ (pw * lw) 5.0
Req'd Design weld depth (mm) s = se+3mm 8
Minimum depth req'd by BS5950 smin1 = 2*sqrt tfa + 3mm 24
Minimum depth req'd by dwg. no. C230 smin2 = smin+3mm 16
Used weld depth (mm) s2 = max(s,smin1,smin2) 24
Check of plate thickness if s2 > tfa, check plate thk. OK
Critical Design force/ unit length of weld (N/mm) fat = Fat/ lw 1,273
Actual weld capacity (N/mm) pw1 =(s2-3) *pw 6,327
Stress Ratio SR2 = fa1/Pw1 0.20
