I will be partially reinforcing a beam with a WT. I am looking for guidance as to determining the length of WT to provide. I've calculated moment diagrams and know the length exceeding the moment capacity.
My question concerns the require length of WT beyond these points. How do you detrmine this length and are there code references for this?
Also, the WT would be stitch welded, but typically there is a continuous length at each end ("tail weld?"). How and where can I find information on determining this weld length?
