Failure of bolted joints
5. Tension or tearing failure of plates
Occurs when the bolts are stronger
than the plates. Tension on both the
gross area and net effective area must
be considered.

countersunk bolt
A bolt having a circular head with a flat
top and a conical bearing surface which
tapers in from the top; when in place,
the head is flush-mounted.

FUNDAMENTALS OF WELDING
• Tendency of atoms to bond and form metallic bonds
• Inter diffusion between the materials
• Diffusion in liquid , solid or mixed state
• Welding process needs some form of energy-Heat or
pressure or both

TYPES OF JOINTS OR
WELDS
(a) Lap joint (b) Tee joint (c) Butt joint (d) Corner joint (d) Edge joint
A – Butt Joints:
Requires full penetration “groove welding”, but it eliminates
eccentricity and more pleasant to view. Suitable for shop welding.
B – Lap Joints:
Is the most common, due to ease of fitting, requires “fillet weld”,
and can be double-sided.
C – Tee Joints:
Useful for fabricating
“Built-up” sections
D – Corner Joints:-
E – Edge joints:-

B) Fillet Welds :
More popular as they require
no special alignment of pieces, nor

Groove welds
Selection of a particular type of
groove weld depends
Advantages
High strength, high resistance to impact and cyclic
stress
Disadvantages
High residual stress , edge preparation and proper
aligning

Behavior
• Lap joints
• Shear is the main design consideration
• Side fillets and end fillets
• End fillet loaded in tension - high strength and low
ductility
• Side fillet loaded - Limited to weld shear strength -
improved ductility
• Average stress in weld throat
• Fillet weld shape is important for end fillets.

Fillet welds are assumed to have a cross section of 45 right
triangle, as shown. The size of the weld is the leg of the triangle,
Denoted as (w). The failure plane (the weakest section) is along the
“throat” of the weld, denoted as
(t); Where (t = 0.707 w). The length of the weld (L)
is the length of the shear plane along the weld.
