Input Data:
Pv=26 k
Vertical Weld Length = 11.500 in. aL=3.46
Horiz. Weld Length = 3.000 in. 3.150
Weld Size, ω = 3/16 in. = 3 (1/16's) θ
Vertical Load, Pv = 26.00 kips P=Pv
Horizontal Load, Ph = 0.00 kips C.G. yL=4.56
Dist. from Pv to Weld = 3.150 in.
Ph=0 L=
Nomenclature: 11.500

P = Pv = C*C1*D*L (for vertical load only)

P = allowable load on eccentric weld group (kips)
C = coefficient interpolated from Table XXVI xL=0.31 2.69
C1 = coef. for electrode, use 1.0 for E70XX
D = number of 1/16's of an inch (weld size) kL= 3
L = vertical weld length

Results: 2
(Note: AISC Alternate Method 2 is not used for P=Pv)
L= 11.500 in. L = vertical weld length
kL = 3.000 in. kL = horizontal weld length
xL = 0.310 in. xL = (kL)^2/(2*(kL+L))
yL = 4.560 in. yL = L^2/(2*(kL+L))
aL = 3.460 in. aL = (Dist. to Pv)-(xL)
a= 0.301 a = (aL)/L
k= 0.261 k = (kL)/L
C1 = 1.0 C1 = 1.0 for E70XX electrode
C= 0.768 (interpolated from Table XXVI)
P= 26.00 kips P = SQRT(Pv^2+Ph^2)
Angle θ = 0.000 deg. θ = 90-(ATAN(Pv/Ph))
Co = N.A. Co = C (from AISC Table XXVI)
C(max) = N.A. C(max) = 0.928*(1+k)
A= N.A. A = C(max)/Co >= 1.0
Ca/Co = N.A. Ca/Co = A/(SINθ+A*COSθ) >= 1.0
Ca = N.A. Ca = (Ca/Co)*Co
D(req'd) = 2.944 1/16's D(req'd) = P/(C*C1*L)
L(req'd) = 11.285 in. L(req'd) = P/(C*C1*D)

Weld is adequate!
D(req'd) = 2.944 <= 3 (1/16's)
L(req'd) = 11.285 <= 11.5 in.
