Two steel plates, each 400mm wide and 12mm thick, are to be joined  together by a lap splice (single). The electrode to be used for the weld has a nominal tensile strength of 550Mpa. Determine the following: a. the maximum weld size that can be used b. effective net area of the fillet weld using the maximum weld size  allowed by the manual c. the maximum load that can be resisted by the weld using the maximum weld size allowed by the manual.

Connections

In steel structures, connections are the members that join two or more steel members. The connections are the most important members of any steel structure, and hence, they are designed more carefully. The majority of the construction cost of steel structures is incurred due to the connections. The design of connections is done as per the recommendations and specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).
