Two plates are connected by fillet welds of size 10 mm and subjected to tension, as shown in the figure. The thickness of each plate is 12 mm. The yield stress and the ultimate stress of steel under tension are 250 MPa and 410 MPa, respectively. The welding is done in the workshop (partial safety factor, 𝛾_𝑚𝑤= 1.25). As per the Limit State Method of IS 800: 2007, what is the minimum length (in mm, rounded off to the nearest higher multiple of 5 mm) required of each weld to transmit a factored force P equal to 275 kN?
