SQRT-classification of welds
l
a
Square root one welds Fw.Rd = Σal · fyd.w / √1 l
Load factors are not discussed in this training material. Generally maximum
permissible load is FRd / 1.5 if type of load case is not specified
In examples, there isn’t included overstrength factor that may be necessary in
case of dissipative members for earthquake
