One last question. Maybe I am over thinking this one. Lets ignore the axial for a moment. Shear is constant at 12.7. Bending varies and is 9.83 at ends and 0 in the middle. Stress at ends with SRSS is 16.06. Stress at middle is 12.7. Seems like the average is somewhere inbetween unless...
The question is in regards to the connection at the middle of the beam. The uniform force method is not being used. There is shear and bending on the weld and a very small amount of axial. The question I have is why is the peak equal to the average when there is shear and bending on the...
In the AISC Seismic Design Manual design examples for SCBF I am not understanding the f peak and f avg on the welds. At the chevron gusset plate, figure 3-13, the weld has shear,axial and bending. In determing the average, the axial and bending are conbined. The bending has a + or - sign...
