Hi All, I have been doing weld design mostly with S-16, been working on an AISC job recently and notice that the strength for partial joint penetration Groove welds are different between the 2 codes:
Using Fu = 440 MPa and Fexx = 490MPa for example.
CISC, Table 3-21:
Tr = Φw * Fu = 0.67*.44 =...
Hi All, design guides and AISC manual do not provide an example that is similar to the following situation. How should we separate the branches into 2 sets of overlapped K connections for checking?
Hi All, I am practicing in Canada but very often we refer to AISC manual for information not available in CISC. I am trying to work on an extended shear tab tool (please refer to attached picture above) and am trying to make it to cover as many different scenarios as possible. I like to use...
Hi All, I have a question regarding a connection for a HSS brace with tension and compression that is welded to a gusset plate. I understand that the Whitmore Section start at the intersection of the HSS to the gusset and project 30 degree out to the end of the HSS. If this is for conventional...
