1. DESIGN CRITERIA:

Section Properties: UC152X152X30

d = 6.20 in. = 157.6 mm
tf = 0.37 in. = 9.4 mm
tw = 0.26 in. = 6.5 mm
bf = 6.02 in. = 152.9 mm
T = 4.87 in. = 123.6 mm

Design Standard: ASTM A 992

ASTM A36

2. CALCULATION:
a. Flange Force:
Pu = 53.28 kips = 237 kN
Pu = f b M p * d
fbMp = 103 ft kips
Tension on gross plate area:
fPn = f Ag Fy
f = 0.90
Ag = 1.48 in2

Plate Cross Sectional Area:

Top Flange: Bf= 11.81 in. = 300 mm Web Plate: Bw = 3.94 in. = 100 mm
Lf = 6.30 in. = 160 mm Lw = 6.30 in. = 160 mm
tf = 0.39 in. = 10 mm tw = 0.39 in. = 10 mm
Af = 2.48 in² Aw = 2.48 in²

n= 2 joint gap, g = 0.39 in. = 10 mm

b = 6.02 in. L > b, safe!

TABLE 10.2 Maximum and Minimum fillet weld sizes

Maximum Fillet Weld Size
Connected part thickness, t1 Maximum Weld Size, w
t < 1/4 w=t
t > 1/4 w = t - 1/16
Minimum Fillet Weld Size2
t < 1/4 1/8
1/4 < t < 1/2 3/16
1/2 < t < 3/4 4/16
t > 3/4 5/16

The term is the thickness of the thicker connected part.

Single-pass welds must be used. The maximum weld size that can be made in a single pass is 5/16 in.

From Table 10.2:

Minimum Weld size = 1/4 in.
Dmin = t < 4/1

Maximum Weld size = 0.308 in. = tf - w

Threfore, Dmax = 5

From Equation 10.7: fRn = fRwl + fRwt

Since: fRn = Puf
f = 0.85
From Eq. 10.5:
f Rn = 1.392DL t

53.28 = 1.392DL t + 1.392DL t

Lt = 2 in. min. Required Weld length
L = 5 in = 127 mm b
b. Shear Strength: FIGURE - 2

fVn = 13.76 kips = 102 kN 60% shear capacity considered.

Since, T = 4.87 in. maximum depth of shear plate.
fvVn = fv0 .6 Fy Aw
f v = 1.0
Aw = T* tp tp = plate thickness
tp = 1/7 in
use, tp = 3/8 in. For practical reasons, a plate has a thickness equal to or greater
than the web thickness should be used.

From Table 10.2:

Minimum Weld size = 3/16 in.
Dmin = 3

Maximum Weld size = t - 1/16 in. since: t = tw

Threfore, Dmax = 0.193 in. Interpolation, k
therefore, Dmax = 3 0.70 2.16 1.85

From AISC Manual, Table 8-8:
a = 1.177 in. a=e/l f = 0.75
k = 0.75 k=b/l C = 2.26 by interpolation from Table 8-8 AISC

C1 = 1.0 electrode strength coefficient from Table 8-3 AISC

Dmin = 2.062 < 3 Ok!

Note the the final design detail includes a 3/8 in. gap between the ends of the beam added for construction tolerance.
