WELDED CONNECTION DESIGN
DESIGN A WELDED CONNECTION FOR TWO STEEL CHANNEL SECTIONS C10X30
FOR SERVICE DEAD LOAD OF 80 KIPS & SERVICE LIVE LOAD OF 300 KIPS WITH
THE FOLLOWING DATA:
MEMBER’S TYPE = CHANNEL SECTIONS
SECTION DEPTH = 10”
STEEL TYPE = A 36
ELECTRODE TYPE = E 60X
WELD SIZE = MINIMUM RECOMMENDED
LOAD TYPE = TENSILE FORCE

Unit Weld Capacity is given by:
q=0.75xTxFv
= 0.75x0.221x36
=5.97 kips

Total length = 288 / 5.97

= 48.3 in /channel

Provide 49 in weld /channel

Distribution of weld = 10 in along web +
19.5 in along flange sides.
