As a Code Repair shop, and always having to reach out to an ASME Fab Shop (U-stamp) for assistance with "what weld size do I need on this part", this course offered some insight as to the "strength of welds" calculations. Applicable course for what I sometimes get invovled with

This is a great way to learn the basics, or to refresh the basics, of fillet and groove welding. It provides a good combination of concepts and calculations along with several examples of each weld type.

This course was interesting and well prepared. Although not my background, I've taken a few short courses prepared by Dr. Doane and they were all well prepared and presented. The tests are based on the course content and the examples. A number a test questions require calculations and Dr. Doane always manages to throw in one or two challenging questions. Overall, a very useful and well presented course.

The content was useful but the presentation did not flow well at all. Several formulas and assumptions were used without reference to the source handbooks and standards. Completing the course required a lot of jumping back and forth through the write up to find the logic behind the calculations. Ultimately I made it through, but it was an annoyingly inefficient process.

Question 1- Course states that electrode designation (example E60 ) is related to yield strength but I understood electrode designation was related to minimum tensile of electrode material.
Question 2- course page 12 states to assume neutral axis is 2/3L from top for analysis. other sources for weld design seem to use neutral axis at centroid of weld group. is there some other reference that shows the 2/3 L location of neutral axis?
Author Response:
For question 1: I agree that the number designation is related to minimum tensile strength of the electrode. I have actually seen references that called it many things, such as classification strength. The number is not an exact value of either yield or tensile strength. Most tables for E60 electrodes, for example, give a tensile strength between 62 and 78 ksi and a yield strength between 52 and 65 ksi.
For question 2: I also have references that assumes the NA is located at the centroid of the weld group. However, research does show that the upper portion of the weld carries more of the load. Therefore, the 2/3L measurement is used in several sources to be more conservative.
