This problem looks at a typical lap splice involving an HSS section and a gusset plate. This problem is a little more
complex than lapped flat plates, in some ways, but is good for illustrating the computation of maximum effective
fillet weld size.
Example Problem 5.2
This example illustrates two ways to "balance" a fillet weld design on a connection that consists of a single angle
and gusset plate.
Example Problem 5.3
This example illustrates the application of the allowed increase in Fw for when the load is not parallel to weld axis.
Example Problem 5.4
This example implements both the elastic and IC methods for eccentric load in the plane of the faying surface.
These problems are best done by spreadsheet, so you will see them in the file that can be downloaded above.
Example Problem 5.5
This example illustrates the computation of capacity of an eccentrically loaded weld group when the eccentricity is
out of the plane of the faying surface.
