The following equation will determine the Shear Stress in groove or slot weld joint.

Bevel Groove Plug Weld Joint Equation

Shear Stress in Weld Base Area

Bevel Groove Plug Weld Joint Equation

Where:

τz

= Shear stress in weld base area [MPa,psi]

F

= Shear force  [N, lb]

b

= Width of weld [mm,in]
L = Length of weld [mm,in]

i

= Number of welds 

Shear Stress in Weld Peripheral Area

Shear Stress in Weld Peripheral Area
Where:

τo

= Shear stress in weld peripheral area [MPa,psi]
F = Shear force  [N, lb]
s = Plate thickness [mm, in]
L = Length of weld [mm,in]
i = Number of welds
