Estimate the static load F that can be carried by the joint shown in Figure 11.7c based on yielding. The two 8-mm-thick steel plates (Sy = 350 MPa) are welded together by convex fillet welds along sides AB and CD. Each weld is 50 mm long. The weld metal has a yield strength of 350 MPa. Use a 5-mm weld leg and a safety factor of 3.
