Code-check of welds according to Canadian standards

This article is also available in

Fillet welds are checked according to S16-14 - Chapter 13. The strength of CJP groove welds is assumed the same as the base metal and is not checked.

The resistance for direct shear and tension or compression induced shear is designed according to S16-14 - 13.13.2.2. Plastic redistribution in weld material is applied in Finite Element Modelling.

V_r = 0.67 \phi_w A_w X_u (1+0.5 \sin^{1.5} \theta ) M_w

where:

$ϕ w = 0.67 - resistance factor for weld metal, editable in Code setup$
$A w - area of effective weld throat$
$X u - ultimate strength as rated by the electrode classification number$
$θ - angle of axis of weld segment with respect to the line of action of applied force (e.g., 0° for a longitudinal weld and 90° for a transverse weld)$
$M_w = \frac{0.85+\theta_1 / 600}{0.85+\theta_2 / 600}$
$θ 1 - orientation of the weld segment under consideration$
$θ 2 - orientation of the weld segment in the joint that is nearest to 90°$

Base metal capacity at the fusion face:

V_r = 0.67 \phi_w A_m F_u

where:

The weld diagrams show stress according to the following formulas:

If base metal is deactivated (matching electrode is used):

\sigma = \frac{\sqrt{ \sigma_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\parallel}^2 }}{1+0.5 \sin^{1.5}{\theta}}

If base metal is activated (matching electrode is not used):

\sigma = \max \left \{  \frac{\sqrt{ \sigma_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\parallel}^2 }}{1+0.5 \sin^{1.5}{\theta}}, \, \frac{\sqrt{ \sigma_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\perp}^2 + \tau_{\parallel}^2 }}{\sqrt{2} F_u / X_u} \right \}

The resistance of Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) groove welds is assumed as that of the base metal.
