Without considering the weld and load orientation, Weld Design Strength
AISC Specification, Equation (J2-10a) (AISC Steel Manual 14th Ed.)
Rn = 111.35 + 44.54 = 155.89 Kips
Weld Design Strength considering the added contribution of the transverse welds
while reducing the contribution of the longitudinal welds,
AISC Specification, Equation (J2-10b) (AISC Steel Manual 14th Ed.)
