(1) Try to design the butt weld (third grade) splicing under axial tension load. The
dimension of steel plate is 500 14 . Q235B steel is used. E43 welding electrode is
used with manual welding and without run-on/off tab. The design tension force is
N 1400kN . Whether straight weld satisfies the loading condition?
Answer:
The butt weld of E43 welding electrode with third grade which splices under axial
tension load and we use Q235B with thickness 14mm. According to Code GB 50017-2003, we
get the weld strength f t w 185MPa .
Welding without Run-on/off tab, we get the length of weld: lw l 2t 500 2 14 472mm .
Therefore, the ultimate tensile load-carrying capacity of the welding is:

Answer:
The fillet weld of E50 welding electrode and we use Q345B. According to Code GB
50017-2003, we get the weld strength f fw 200 MPa .
