EXAMPLE 1: Determine the strength of the following welds.

8”
(a) 3/4” weld, 8” long, loaded along the weld

8”
8”
450

(c) 3/4” weld, 8” long, loaded at a 450 to


(b) 3/4” weld, 8” long, loaded perpendicular to
the weld
the weld

(a) Nominal Design Strength, φRn = φFw Aw = φ [ 0.707 w L ] Fw

Where φ = 0.75

φRn = 0.75 [ 0.707(3/4”)(8”)](0.6x70) = 133.62 kips

(b) Fw = 0.60 FEXX [1.0 + 0.5 Sin 1.5 θ] = 0.60 FEXX (1.5) { Sinθθ = Sin (900 ) = 1}

φRn = 133.62 x 1.5 = 200.4 kips

(c) Fw = 0.60 FEXX [1.0 + 0.5 Sin 1.5 θ] = 0.60 FEXX (1.292456) { θ = 450 }

φRn = 133.62 x 1.292456 = 172.7 kips
