Looking for any insight on checking existing weld resistance of a moment connection. Basically a small beam with a small span welded at both ends, I want to make sure the ends can be modeled as fixed connections. I need to check the existing weld capacity to make sure this is possible.
LRFD...
There is no embedded leg. There are anchor bolts embedded into the concrete and bolted at the bottom leg of the angle. Sorry if I was unclear.
I just wanted to do a quick additional check for bending. Thanks again for input.
Basically just putting a simple bending force on angle leg, but wondering if there's anything I'm missing if designing in accordance with AASHTO LRFD as opposed to Std spec (other than using factored loads). Thanks again!
Designing an angle for a temporary bridge bearing keeper angle, in aashto LRFD. One leg is anchored into concrete, I need to size the thickness of angle for bending of the other leg.
Originally I designed it in ASD aashto standard spec, given horizontal load.
