Static Analysis of Welded Bead of Street Lighting Construction
Session
Mechatronics, System Engineering and Robotics
Description
Public lighting is for sure of unique importance for our safety, but it is also crucial to ensure that the street lighting construction does not fail due to static load or when unpredicted additional loads (like wind storms) could potentially be subjected to. To ensure that the failure of the street lighting construction will not happen, the mechanical properties of the weld joint should be known. Tensile test and hardness measurements were used as destructive examination methods and visual inspection using the welding gauge as a nondestructive examination for measurement of reinforcement and weld size. Finally, static analysis is performed by simulation in SolidWorks software, and the results were compared with the experimental test. Based on the results should be no concern, if the inspection is done properly before, during, and after welding by IWS (International Welding Specialist) personnel and in accordance with WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) and PQR (Procedure Qualification Record).
