Welded Connection

Moment Resiting Connection

1.Input Data
Shear Load = 180 kN (from Staad)
Bending Moment = 600 kN.M(from Staad)
Assume tck of Weld = 5 mm
Main Member (Supporter) Thickness = 12 mm
Secondary Member (Supporting Member) Thickness = 8 mm
fu = 410 N/mm2
rmw = 1.25 (shop)
rmw = 1.5 (site)
rmo = 1.1

2. Weld Thickness

Assume Thickness of the Weld = 5 mm (from Table)

Throat thickness = 3.5

3. Length of the weld

Resistance of the Weld = fu/((3)^0.5XƳmw)
= 157.809074
Lw' = (6M/(2XteXRnw))^0.5
= 570.868718
Lw = 1.1XLw'
= 627.955589
4. Direct Shear Stress
Tvf = P/(2XLwXte)
= 40.9492107 kN
5. Bending Stress
Tvlf = 3XM/(teXLw^2)
= 130.420722 kN

6. Equivalent Stress
fe = (Tvf+Tvlf)^0.5
= 148.459012 < 157.8091

Hence Safe
