You might like Design of Weldments from The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation www dot jflfoundation dot com. $15.00 (not a typo.) An excellent guide to structural analysis. It is not specific to products from Lincoln Arc Welding, but is intended to provide support for welding. There isn't help on riveted or bolted joints.
"By Omer W. Blodgett, design consultant 464 pages, 8 ½” x 11”, 923 illustrations, nomographs, charts.
This reference handbook describes in detail design techniques for creating machine designs in arc welded steel. Much of this material has had no previous publication. Theoretical analysis, problem-solution examples and case history studies explain how to design machine components for manufacturing economies and improvement of product performance through efficient use of steel’s excellent physical properties.
Since its publication, this book has become a standard reference manual for design problems in welded metal products.
Design of Weldments includes 8 sections dealing with ‘Weldesign,’ a system that reduces weight and cost and improves production."
