Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2026 > Welded Joints
A rectangular plate is perfectly welded to a gusset plate with parallel fillet weld joints as shown in the figure below. The length of the weld is l and the fillet weld leg size is h. The allowable shear strength of the weldment is τall. A tensile force P is applied on the plate in a direction parallel to the length of the weld. Assuming the throat of the weld as the weakest section, the critical load is
A
√2 hlτall
B
hlτall
C
hlτall/√2
D
hlτall/2

Correct : c
