If the ISA 100 × 65 × 8 is used for tension member, with 100 mm leg as the connected leg using a welded connection. What will be the shear lag width?

If the ISA 100 × 65 × 8 is used for tension member, with 100 mm leg as the connected leg using a welded connection. What will be the shear lag width? Correct Answer 65 mm

Concepts:

In case of welded connections, the shear lag distance is given as:

bs =   Wo

Wo = Width of outstanding leg

In case of bolted connection, the shear lag distance is given as:

bs  = Wc + G – t

Wc= width of connected leg

G is the gauge distance

t thickness of section.

Calculation:

Given: Welded connection with Wc = 100 mm; Wo = 65 and t = 8 mm.

So, the shear lag width is

bs =  65 mm
