Leg Calculations
Leg Calculations
(OP)
Can someone suggest a method to analyze the localized stresses on a shell wall from its leg supports (just the local stresses, the leg design is ok)? I considered WRC-107 but I do not think that it applies if the welds do not form a closed shape. FEA is NOT a possibility.

The book goes for about 100$ if I recall correctly.
The information you are looking for can be found in section 5.1.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Fortunately I have that here already. Unfortunately I did not realize it.

Is WRC ok to use even when the welds only make three sides of a rectangle? Can you assume that the it is a rectangular attachment with dimensions of the weld along the top of the leg by the weld along the length of the leg?
