Welds in shear, bending, torsion and axial loading spreadsheet

WeldCalc is an Excel Template for the design of weld groups having any configuration of multi-linear weld lengths in an
x-y plane. lt uses the elastic method to analyse weld groups subjected to simultaneous tension, compression, shear,
bending and or torsion in x, y and z directions lf present, it takes into account the influence of unsymmetrical bending
in its analysis
WeldCalc analyses any configuration of multi-linear weld lengths in an X-Y plane. The loads can be shear, moment,
torsion and axial applied simultaneously.

WeldCalc calculates the induced stress at each node and identifies the node most highly stressed. lt also calculates
the magnitude of load resisted by each length of weld in the x, y and z directions
A weld group can have up to 30 Nodes or 29 weld lengths. The line of weld lengths can be continuous or
discontinuous. Each continuous series of weld lengths is termed as a Part and it is given a reference number starting
from i onwards. A weld group can have up to i5 parts connecting 30 nodes in any pattern.
WeldCalc is supplied as an Excel Template, having _XLT as its filename extension.
You can use WeldCalc by opening its hle directly or copying it into the Microsoft Office folder for its Templates.
