Weld Strength Calculation - Fillet Weld, Groove Weld, and Base Metal Load Capacity

Learn how to calculate the strength of fillet welds, groove welds, and the base metal in a steel connection. Video discusses the stresses in a welded joint and the formulas required to determine the load carrying capacity. Equations used in the example welding calculations are in accordance with AISC 360 and the Steel Construction Manual.

Thank you. Very well done, interesting and helpful.

Gracias por compartir el material. Saludos!

thanks for sharing! this was very helpful. Some of these numbers Starting at 4:06, such as nominal stress. is this represented in kips? or are you just using a random number for this example?

Thanks, helpful info for my cweng exam

Wow now i can see my desing from other point of view, good video. When more?

Love the 0:50 book opening aound. Reminds me of SEGA games of my childhood. 🎉❤

Would the same calculation also apply if the load is applied in normal direction//out of plane to the weld?

Ie imagine i have a pipe leaking. I plan to patch it up with a steel and weld via fillet weld. The force (water pressure from the hole) is acting in normal direction to the steel plate.

Thank you for the valuable information. Is there any similar available for aluminium welded connections?

[RunnerProductions]

Nice content, can you publish something about dig depth and concrete diameter size to hold any type of pole or tall structure built on 'stilts'?

You forgot something! If a guy named Scott Hall welded on it add 99% strength to whatever the product is 😁👍
