How can the strength of a glued joint between a rigid gusset plate and rigid foundation be estimated under arbitrary shape of the glued spot (Fig. 29).

The shape of the glued spot is known. Tangential stress arising in the glue layer is proportional to the local mutual displacement of the glued members. Breaking stress for the glue is given.
