Longitudinal Welds

Longitudinal welds of the reinforcing plates

lweld = Pu(2 welds) ⋅ (ϕRn)
lweld = Fy·Ag(2 welds) · (ϕRn)
lweld = 108.0 kips(2 welds) · (5.57 kips/in)
lweld = 9.70 in → use 10.0 in

lweld

Length of weld

Pu

Compressive load of (1) plate = Fy . Ag 

Fy

Yield strength of plate = 36 ksi

Ag

Gross area of (1) plate = 0.375 in x 8.0 in = 3.0 in2

ΦRn

Weld design strength per inch of weld
