Gardner 13 Welded joint example Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints The design resistance of the weld per unit length (i.e. per mm run) Fvw,d: Fvw,d = fvw,d a = 223×5.6 = 1248 N/mm = 1.25 kN/mm Total resistance of weld = 1.25×350 = 437 kN (> 400 kN) Above arrangement, using 8 mm fillet welds, with a 350 mm weld length is acceptable.

European Union website L.Conclusions Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints • ‘The construction industry has not previously faced the challenge of implementing a complete suite of new codes encompassing all the major materials and loading requirements • This burden will not be eased by the format and terminology of the Eurocodes both of which are different from British Standards’. 2004) L.

Gardner 31 Eurocode 3 Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints Thank you Dr Leroy Gardner Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures L.Conclusions Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints Conclusions: • Advanced design codes • Greater in scope • Biggest change since limit states • Unfamiliar format/ resistance to uptake • Guidance material and training emerging • Basis for other National design codes L.
