Welded Connections

The document provides equations and methods for calculating the shear strength of welded connections using fillet welds, specifically focusing on weld shear strength and base metal shear strength for both ASD and LRFD methods. It includes detailed calculations for tension members connected to gusset plates made of A36 steel, with specific examples and values provided. The document emphasizes the importance of selecting the smaller value from two methods to determine the total strength of the connection.

Problem 1.
A plate used as a tension member is connected to a gusset plate as
shown in the Figure. The welds are 5mm fillet welds made with E70
Electrodes. The connected parts are of A36 Steel. Assume that the tensile
strength of the member is adequate, determine the ASD and LRFD
strength of the welded connection.
