-->//(Welded and Riveted Joints) Example 8.2 -->//Refer Fig.8.9 on page 279 -->//Static tensile force acting on the plates P (kN) -->P = 50 P = 50. -->//Permissible shear stress in the weld tau (N/mm2) -->tau = 94 tau = 94. -->//Thickness of the plate t (mm) -->h = 10 h = 10. -->//Total length of the weld to be added at start and stop lExt (mm) -->lExt = 15 lExt = 15. Total required length of the welds(lTotal) = 52.617744 or 55.000000 mm
