This model explains a simplified method according to EN 1993-1-8 for the design of fillet welds on columns with gusset plates. It demonstrates how precise force components can be determined from extensive FEM calculations to dimension the weld and fillet weld sizes. The result interpretation focuses on cutting effects and force resultant, thus providing a practical approach to safety evaluation. In application, this analysis supports a structured approach to determining essential force parameters.
