A flat bar used as a tension member is connected to a gusset plate. Size of weld is 6 mm, with an ultimate tensile strength of 185 MPa. E 70 electrodes Thickness of plate = 6.25 mm. Use ASD.

 

Thickness of gusset plate = 9.5 mm.

Fy = 248 MPa

Fw = 0.60(485)

Fu = 400 MPa

 

Questions:

The connected parts are of A-36 steel and assumed that the tensile strength of the member is adequate:

 

a) Determine the strength of the connection per mm considering the design shear strength of the 6 mm fillet weld.

b) Determine the base metal shear strength per mm.

c) Determine the available strength of the connection.
