Types of welding joints

The fetched Omni welding page covers lap and butt joints. For lap joints, it considers single and double transverse fillet welds, parallel welds, and combined U-shaped welds. For butt joints, it covers single-sided and double-sided welds.

Weld strength calculation

Single transverse: P = 0.707 x s x sigma_t x l

Double transverse: P = 2 x 0.707 x s x sigma_t x l

Double parallel: P = 2 x 0.707 x s x tau x l

Combined: P = 0.707 x s x sigma_t x l1 + 2 x 0.707 x s x tau x l2

Single butt: P = t x l x sigma_t

Double butt: P = (t1 + t2) x l x sigma_t

Source example

Omni's example uses a single transverse fillet weld with 5 mm size, 100 mm weld length, and 70 MPa allowable tensile stress, giving a strength of 24.745 kN. Those values are loaded by default.
