The effective length of fillet should be less than-
-
A.
Four times the size of weld
-
B.
One time the size of the weld
-
C.
Three times the size of weld
-
D.
Two times the size of weld
Correct Answer:
A. Four times the size of weld
Explanation:
The effective length of a fillet weld is a critical design parameter to ensure the connection's structural integrity. According to standard engineering codes like IS 800 and BS 5950, the effective length must not be less than four times the weld size. If the actual length is shorter than this threshold, the weld is considered insufficient to safely carry the intended load. Additionally, many standards specify a minimum absolute length, such as 40 mm, whichever is greater, to account for potential imperfections at the start and end of the weld bead. Therefore, the correct option is B (Four times the size of weld).
