Maximum Distance Between Intermittent Fillet Welds per AISC Section E6.1(b)

Maximum distance between the intermittent fillet welds according to AISC Section E6.1(b)

ri = IxiAi = 0.0352 in43.0 in2 = 0.108 in
amax = 40 ri = 40 · 0.108 in = 4.33 in → use 4.0 in

ri

Radius of gyration of (1) plate

Ixi

bt3/12 = [(8.0in) . (0.375in)3]/12 =0.0352in4 (one plate)

Ai

Area of (1) plate = t w = (0.375in)(8in) = 3.0in2

amax

Maximum distance between the intermittent fillet welds
