1. Explain the concept welding design and fabrication in manufacturing steel structure.
What should you do when you act as:
a) Welding Engineer
1) Develops welding techniques, procedures, and application of welding equipment
to problems involving fabrication of metals, utilizing knowledge of production
specifications, properties and characteristics of metals and metal alloys, and
engineering principles: Conducts research and development investigations to
develop and test new fabrication processes and procedures, improve existing or
develop new welding equipment, develop new or modify current welding methods,
techniques, and procedures, discover new patterns of welding phenomena, or to
correlate and substantiate hypotheses.
2) Prepares technical reports as result of research and development and preventive
maintenance investigations.
3) Establishes welding procedures to guide production and welding personnel
relating to specification restrictions, material processes, pre- and post-heating
requirements which involve use of complex alloys, unusual fabrication methods,
welding of critical joints, and complex postheating requirements.
4) Evaluates new developments in welding field for possible application to current
welding problems or production processes.
5) Directs and coordinates technical personnel in performing inspections to ensure
workers' compliance with established welding procedures, restrictions, and
standards; in testing welds for conformance with national code requirements; or
testing welding personnel for certification.
6) Contacts personnel of other agencies, engineering personnel, or clients to
exchange ideas, information, or offer technical advice concerning welding matters.

c) Welding inspector
(1) Codes, standards and specifications: Interpretation of the intent and ensuring
the requirements of codes, standards and specifications are met.
(2) Welding procedures: Ensuring that a procedure is available, has been approved
and is being employed in production.
(3) Witnessing of welder and procedure approval tests: Witnessing the
preparation of test plates and destructive tests and verifying compliance with
appropriate standards and specifications.
(4) Welder approvals: Verifying that adequate and valid welder approvals are
available, and that only approved welders are used in production.
(5) Parent material: Verifying parent material against documentation and
markings.

3. Calculate the minimum fillet weld size on a welded construction as shown in the
picture below, the known shear stress (T) which is parallel to the load of 20 MPa or
N/mm2, while the load (P) which is 20000 N (2.5 Tons) with the length of each side of
the weld joint (W) is 100 mm. Use the formula: T = P/(2.w.a)
