Lap Joint Subject To Bending and Shear


This calculation method is one I came up with. Unfortunately I couldn't find a similar joint in any technical reference to verify it.


This is a lap joint with an offset. I could not find a calculation for this in any reference so I put this together. I have assumed that there will be a vertical shear force caused by the offset load creating a moment about the mid point between the welds (marked with the red dot), as well as a horizontal shear force. 
 
 
 
 
Alternative approach  it gives the same answer as my method. My thanks to the person that sent this to me.
