A lap welded joint of A36 steel plates must hold a tensile load. The lower plate is .5 inches thick and 7.7 inches wide. The upper plate is .5 inches thick and 4.8 inches wide. Use Class E60 series electrodes with 1/4 inch leg welds. Using side fillet welds only, A. find the maximum allowable tensile load the joint can support and determine the required overlap between the plates to achieve this strength B. what is the required overlap to meet the maximum tensile load
