Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me (or confirm what I already think i know). I am running an assessment on an existing steel portal which has been taken down and is being erected in a new location. The apex and the eaves, rather than being bolted, are welded like the image below - there is a...
I'm hoping someone can help me with this, I am stumped.

I have a chs which cantilevers out from a flat plate. It is fully welded to the plate with a fillet weld around its perimeter. How do I calculate the moment capacity of this connection? I have done 'what I think' is right, but it has now become the critical...
