Sheet No Date Designed by Checked by

: 1 of 1 : 4 March 2013 : Utaya Kumar : Jeffrey Yu

Objective

: Calculate and proposed welding length to rejoin the Rebar

Design Assumption 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. These designs have been done based on BS5990-1:2000. Main Bar size Designed yield strength of reinforcement bar and shear link Fillet Weld Size Allowable Stress for Grade 43 steel fillet weld Strength for Grade 43 steel fillet weld = 20 mm 2 = 460 N/mm . = 6 mm. 2 = 115 N/mm . 2 = 805 N/mm .

Calculation A. Main Rebar Fillet Weld Size Throat Length, a = 6 mm = 0.7 x 6 mm = 4.2 mm

Length required for welding, Lw

= = 224 mm

Effective length of weld for both sides

= = 112 mm 115 mm

Actual length of weld for both sides

= 115 + (2 x 6) = 127 mm = 127 + (2 x 6) 2 = 75.5 mm = 75.5 mm each side. = 80 mm each side.
