As the two parts to be joined are heated to a molten state, the filler metal from the rod combines with the base metal. The filler metal of the rod, or electrode, is higher strength than the base metal. When the molten combination of metals has cooled it is normally stronger than the original base metal.
4. In a weld, which of the following is NOT true?
a. The base metal is usually stronger than the cooled combination of metals b. The added weld material is usually stronger than the base metal
c. The cooled combination of metals is usually stronger than the base metal d. Either AC or DC can be used to create the arc
I chose b and was counted wrong

I am not a structural engineer, but I occasionally have to work with steel. This was a top-notch introductory course. The test required some calculation and did not resort to "tricky" questions, as it should. The presentation was very readable and held my attention well. I would love to see a Fundamentals of Steel - Part C.

Course Evaluation
Walter A Tillit Jr

The course was extremely conmprehensive, covering all topics of steel design, which is a real challenge given the real broad of applications where steel is used from structural of main frames in buildings to components too. Gppd emphasis in the importance of Connection Design, clearly outlining its complex nature, but indicating the safe assumptions made to it to simplify its practice and applications.

A very informative introduction to welded and bolted connections. Great pictures of steel beams and bar joists in action!
However, the author misuses the terminology regarding weld types and joint types. The five joint types are: tee, corner, butt, lap, and edge. (Ref. AWS D1.1). The joint types describe the orientation of the two members that make up the joint. A fillet weld is NOT a joint type; it is a weld type in the same list as all the different groove weld types. Welding a tee joint does not require a fillet weld. It can also be made with a groove weld - with proper edge preparation. In my shop, tee joints are commonly welded first with partial penetration bevel groove welds and then overlaid with reduced-size fillet welds.

Excellent review of basic steel design as I have a Mechanical degree and appreciated lots of fundamentals outlined therein.
Page 17 Example problem needs an additional bracket added in front of "(2" as with the second bracket after "diameter" relocated after "plate)". (A bit wordy but my keyboard doesn't have the math type bracket required). Call me at 252-808-2569 if you have questions.
