Weld Capacity of Eccentric Connection Based on AISC 360-05

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

THICKER PART JOINTED t = 0.75 in
WELD SIZE w= 0.25 in
GRAVITY LOAD, ASD P= 10.7 kips
ECCENTRICITY TO EDGE e = 30 in
LATERAL LOAD, ASD F= 5 kips
WELD LENGTH, DA L1 = 4 in
WELD LENGTH, DC L2 = 18 in
WELD LENGTH, CB L3 = 2 in

THE CONNECTION DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.

ANALYSIS
MIN WELD SIZE (AISC 360-05 Tab. J2.4) wmin = 0.25 in
MAX WELD SIZE (AISC 360-05 J2.2b) wmax = 0.69 in
EFFECTIVE THROAT THICKNESS te = 0.707 w = 0.18 in
CENTROID OF WELD GROUP X0 = S Xi Ai / S Ai = 0.42 in
Y0 = S Yi Ai / S Ai = 9.75 in
CENTRODIAL MOMENT OF INERTIA Ix = S (b h3/ 12 + A d2 ) = 169 in4
Iy = S (b h3/ 12 + A d2 ) = 4 in4
TOTAL ECCENTRICITY e total, P = e + L 1 - X0 = 33.6 in
 e total, F = 0.5 L2 - Y0 = -0.8 in
ALLOWABLE STRESS (AISC 360-05 J2.4 ) Fv = 0.6 FEXX / W = 21.0 ksi

DETERMINE SHEAR STRESS @ POINTS A, B, C, D

Point A : fx = F / Aw + SM yA / (Ix + Iy) = 18.1 ksi fy = -P / Aw - SM xA / (Ix + Iy) = -9.9
Point B : fx = F / Aw - SM yB / (Ix + Iy) = -18.9 ksi fy = -P / Aw - SM xB / (Ix + Iy) = -5.8
Point C : fx = F / Aw - SM yC / (Ix + Iy) = -18.9 ksi fy = -P / Aw + SM xC / (Ix + Iy) = -1.7
Point D : fx = F / Aw + SM yD / (Ix + Iy) = 18.1 ksi fy = -P / Aw + SM xD / (Ix + Iy) = -1.7

CHECK SHEAR CAPACITY @ POINTS A, B, C, D

Point A : fv = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 20.7 ksi < Fv = 21.0 ksi [Satisfactory]
Point B : fv = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 19.7 ksi < Fv = 21.0 ksi [Satisfactory]
Point C : fv = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 18.9 ksi < Fv = 21.0 ksi [Satisfactory]
Point D : fv = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 18.2 ksi < Fv = 21.0 ksi [Satisfactory]
