Two plates of thickness 16 mm and 14mm are required to be joined by a butt (groove) weld. The plates are subjected to a factored tensile force of 400 KN. The effective weld length is limited to 180 mm. Check whether the joint is safe if in following cases? (Assume f= 250 N/mm²) (a) Single Vbutt weld is provided (b) Double Vbutt weld is provided
