Welding Innovation Vol. XV, No. 2, 1998 Consider Direction of LoadingWhen Sizing Fillet WeldsPractical Ideas for the Design Professional by Duane K. Miller, , FileThe traditional approach used to design a Fillet weldassumes that the load is resisted by the weld s throat,regardless of the Direction of Loading . Experience andexperimentation, however, have shown that Fillet weldsloaded perpendicular to their longitudinal axis have an ulti-mate strength that is approximately 50% greater than thesame weld loaded parallel to the longitudinal axis. The tra-ditional approach, in which Direction of Loading is not con-sidered, is therefore conservative. Such a philosophy wasincorporated into the AWS Structural Welding Code -Steel, as represented by the following provision from the1994 Fillet effective area shall be the effectivelength multiplied by the effective throat.
