SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the calculation of maximum weld stress for a weld group subjected to forces in both the x and y directions. The user outlines a method involving the movement of forces to the geometric center of the weld group, calculating tension and shear stress, and applying the formula for equivalent stress. The solution incorporates parameters such as moment of inertia (Ix and Iy) and weld throat (t). Reference to AISC guidelines is also provided for further validation and information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of weld stress calculations
  • Familiarity with AISC standards and guidelines
  • Knowledge of moment of inertia in structural engineering
  • Basic principles of static equilibrium in mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Review AISC guidelines on weld group analysis
  • Study the calculation of moment of inertia for complex shapes
  • Learn about tension and shear stress distribution in welds
  • Explore advanced topics in structural analysis, such as finite element analysis (FEA) for welds
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, welders, and anyone involved in the design and analysis of welded structures will benefit from this discussion, particularly those seeking to understand weld stress calculations and AISC compliance.

Hello all,

I am not very sure with this kind of weld check, could you give me some help and suggestion?
Details as following:

Given:
Ft=force in y direction
Lt=distance between Ft action point and weld group geometric center(y direction)
Fl=force in x direction
Ll=distance between Fl action point and weld group geometric center(x direction)
L1=weld 1 length
L2=weld 2 length
L3=weld 3 length
t=weld throat
Ix-=moment interia about x axial
Iy-=moment interia about y axial
r=the max distance form center

Soluation
find out the max weld stress
My solution is this,
First move Ft and Fl to the geometric center get the tension and shear stress
Then take tousionT=Ft*Lt+Fl*Ll(or Ft*Lt-Fl*Ll) take the
stress σ=T/(Ix+Iy)*r,and distribute the result to x and y direction,
and finally get eqivualent stress

Am I right?

Thank you for your help and suggestion.

Hello all,
I found some information in AISC rules,sorry for cann't upload all documents, for detail information please go through the AISC website or contract me.
