MEC-3110 Assignment-01
1. A steel plate, 80 mm wide and 10 mm thick, is joined to
another steel plate by means of a single transverse and
double parallel fillet welds, as shown in figure. The strength
of the welded joint should be equal to the strength of the
plates to be joined. The permissible tensile and shear
stresses for the weld material and the plates are 100 and 70
N/mm2 respectively. Find the length of each parallel fillet
weld. Assume that the tensile force passes through the centre of gravity of three welds.
2. A bracket, as shown in figure below, is welded to a plate. The welds have the same size, and the
permissible force per mm of the weld-length is 1 kN. Calculate the lengths l1 and l2.
3. A welded connection of steel plates is shown in figure. It is subjected
to an eccentric force of 50 kN. Determine the size of the weld, if the
permissible shear stress in the weld is not to exceed 70 N/mm2.
4. A welded joint, as shown in figure below, is subjected to an eccentric load of 2500 N. Find the
size of the weld, if the maximum shear stress in the weld is not to exceed 50 N/mm2.

5. A circular shaft, 75 mm in diameter, is welded to the support by means of a circumferential fillet
weld. It is subjected to a torsional moment of 3000 N- m. Determine the size of weld, if the
maximum shear stress in the weld is not to exceed 70 N/mm2.
6. A solid circular beam, 25 mm in diameter, is welded to a support by means of a fillet weld as shown
in figure below. Determine the leg dimension of the weld, if the permissible shear stress is 95
N/mm2.
7. A bracket is welded to the vertical plate by means of two fillet welds as shown in figure below.
Determine the size of the welds, if the permissible shear stress is limited to 70 N/mm2.
8. A welded connection, as shown figure, is subjected to
an eccentric force of 60 kN in the plane of the welds.
Determine the size of the welds, if the permissible
shear stress for the weld is 100 N/mm2. Assume static
conditions.

9. A plate, 75 mm wide and 10 mm thick, is joined with
another steel plate by means of single transverse and
double parallel fillet welds, as shown in figure. The joint
is subjected to a maximum tensile force of 55 kN. The
permissible tensile and shear stresses in the weld
material are 70 and 50 N/mm2 respectively. Determine
the required length of each parallel fillet weld.
10. A rectangular steel plate is welded as a cantilever to a vertical
column and supports a single concentrated load of 135 kN as
shown in figure. Determine the weld size if the allowable shear
stress in the weld material is 140 MPa.
