WELD CHECK:
Check for flange weld
Fillet weld considered = 8 mm
Tensile Stress of weld due to FF, fw1 = 218 Mpa
Tensile Stress of weld due to My, fw2 = 0 Mpa
Total stress fw1 +fw2 = 218 Mpa
Allowableweld stress = 261 Mpa
Hence OK
Check for Web weld

Shear Force = 168 kN
Axial force taken by web = 223
Length available for welding = 321.6 mm
Shear per mm due to shear = 0.52238806 kN/mm
Nominal strength of fillet weld = 246 Mpa
Size of weld required = 4 mm
Tensile stress = 164 Mpa
Hence OK

MEMBER CHECKS UNDER CONCENTRATED FORCE

AISC 2005 LRFD

Depth of Width of Thickness

Inclination with Moment Moment

degree kN kN kNm kNm

Tensile Stress of weld due to FF, fw1 = 218 Mpa

Tensile Stress of weld due to My, fw2 = 0 Mpa

Total stress fw1 +fw2 = 218 Mpa

Allowableweld stress = 261 Mpa

Check for Web weld

Shear Force = 168 kN

Axial force taken by web = 223

Length available for welding = 321.6 mm

Shear per mm due to shear = 0.52238806 kN/mm

Nominal strength of fillet weld = 246 Mpa

Size of weld required = 4 mm

Tensile stress = 164 Mpa

Rn = 6.25 tf2 Fyf

A pair of Transverse Stiffeners shall be provided.

B) WEB LOCAL YIELDING:

where "d" is the depth of the member,

A pair of Transverse Stiffeners shall be provided

Rn = 0.8tw2 [1 + 3(N/d)( tw/tf)1.5] ((EFywtf)/ tw)

Hence Strengthening elements Not Required

D) WEB COMPRESSION BUCKLING:

Hence Strengthening elements not Required

a = distance from applied force & member end
