# EN13001 Weld Strength (2018)

EN13001 Weld Strength (2018) – a crane standard EN 13001-3-1+A2 Limits States and proof competence of steel structure.

To add EN 13001 Standard execute Standards - Main - EN 13001 - EN 13001 Weld Strength (2018) from the ribbon:

is the general resistance factor (EN13001-2).

If Weld Material Under-Matching is checked then equation 22 and ultimate tensile strength of the weld material will be used to calculate limit design weld stress fW,Rd.

Otherwise, equation 21 and yield stress of the connected members will be used. (Section 5.2.5 and Table 8)

Where:

- is a factor given in Table 8 in dependence on the type of weld, the type of stress and the material

- is the minimum value of the yield strength of the connected members under consideration

- is the ultimate tensile strength of the weld material (all weld metal)

If Using Effective Weld Length is checked then effective weld length will be used for calculations (substract twice the weld thickness from full weld length: lr = lw - 2 * w). Otherwise, full weld length will be used.
