A pure resistance electrical analogue is used to assess the elastic toe displacements that occur in a longitudinal fillet weld subjected to a uniform shearing intensity throughout its length. The result is compared with measured values obtained from an experimental investigation of fillet weld deformations. Conclusions are drawn concerning the behaviour of a stiff welded junction.
