Concept: 

Strength of Transverse Fillet Welded Joints

Tensile strength of the joint for single fillet weld:

Tensile strength of the joint for double fillet weld:

where l = Length of weld, s = Size of weld.

Calculation:

Given:

s = 5 mm, l = 20 mm, σt = 100 MPa

Tensile strength of the joint for double fillet weld:
