Question

What is the safe load P that can be transmitted by the fillet welded joint as shown in the figure below if the allowable shear stress in the fillet-weld is 110 Mpa?

• A. 92.42 kN
• B. 85.35 kN
• C. 73.92 kN
• D. 64.76 kN

Answer 1

The correct option is C 73.92 kN

The safe load that can be transmitted by the fillet welded joint is given by
$P=L\times \left(0.7S\right)\times 110$
$=(60+60+40)\times 0.7\times 6\times 110$
$=73920$
$=73.92kN$
