Fillet weld design – two methods Featured Posts
January 21, 2018
Eurocode 1993-1-8:2005 gives a designer a choice between two methods for the design of fillet
welds: the simplified and the directional methods.
There is no specific guidance on which method to use and, in practice, the choice is usually made on
practical grounds.
In the directional method, the force acting on the fillet weld is resolved into components parallel and
transverse to the plane of the weld throat. As a result, there are uniformly distributed normal stresses
and shear stresses.

The simplified method does not require determination of the stress components in the weld. The
stress is taken as the vector sum of all force components and the weld strength is equal to the shear July 2018 (1)
strength, independent of the direction of the force acting on it. As the weld is weakest in pure shear,
this method always gives more conservative results than does the directional method. April 2018 (1)
