REQUIRED STRENGTH CALCULATION DRAWING

WELD DESIGN SHEAR STRENGTH Symbol Value Unit
Diameter of the spiral bar db 16.00 mm
Number of spiral bar - 2.00 nos
Area of rebar: Aspiral 402.12 mm2
Grade: Gr. 60.00
Tensile Strength: fy 414.00 MPa
Tensile force requirement: Ftension 166.48 kN

ANALYSIS OF WELDED AREA

Welding properties Symbol value unit
Electrode (e.g. E60xx, E70xx): E90XX 90 kips/sq. in
Nominal Stress [Fw=0.6(E60x6.9)]: Fw 372.6 MPa
Throat dimension: tweld 0.707 mm
Thickness of weld: wweld 6 mm
Length of weld: Lweld 250 mm

Weld nomimal shear strength: Rn=(0.707wLFw) 395.1423 kN

ALLOWABLE STRENGTH DESIGN APPROACH Factor of Safety, Ω = 2.00

WELD DESIGN SHEAR STRENGTH Symbol Value Unit
Weld desig strength: (Rn/ Ω)=(0.707wLFw)/(2.07) Rn/ Ω 197.57 kN
>
Tensile force requirement: Ftension 166.48 kN
∴ Weld design shear strength > force requirement

CONCLUSION
TOTAL LENGTH OF WELD FOR EVERY SPIRAL LAPLENGTH 40Ø: 250.00 mm

REFERENCE NOTE
The design strength calculation presented in this report is based on Allowable Strength Design (ASD) approach.
The design reference of ASD approach is followed from American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. (AISC) Steel Construction Manual 13TH Edition (2005) under Section J2 for Welds.
The factor of safety and multiplier use for calculation are based in Table J2.5.
