Chapter 9, Problem 9.42(choose chapter or problem)
When comparing two different weldment patterns it is useful to observe the resistance to bending or torsion and the volume of weld metal deposited. The measure of effectiveness, defined as second moment of area divided by weld-metal volume, is useful. If a 3-in by 6-in section of a cantilever carries a static 10 kip bending load 10 in from the weldment plane, with an allowable shear stress of 12 kpsi realized, compare horizontal weldments with vertical weldments by determining the measure of effectiveness for each weld pattern. The horizontal beads are to be 3 in long and the vertical beads, 6 in long
