Lap Joint Subject To Bending and Shear
This is a lap joint with an offset. I could not find a calculation for this in any reference so I
put this together. I have assumed that there will be a vertical shear force caused by the offset
load creating a moment about the mid point between the welds (marked with the red dot), as
well as a horizontal shear
force.
Alternative approach it gives the same answer as my method. My thanks to the
person that sent this to me. Next Page Menu Page

The best book is the Procedure Handbook, it covers a wide range of welding topics
including calculations. Its a must for any one seriously interested in welding. It cost £16
Inc. Postage in 1999, its available from :-
The James F. Lincoln Arc Foundation.

Anybody seriously interested in engineering calculations should consider a copy


of ROARK’S Formulas for stress & Strain, its available from most decent book shops for
around £20.

I would also recommend the J.G.Hicks book, it covers the calculation requirements for the
European Welding Engineer syllabus. Its available from Abingdon Publishing, Abington
Hall, Cambridge, England.

The Steel Designers Manual is another good book covering a wide range of structural
engineering topics
