Weld thickness

Weld thickness

(OP)
Looking for information on how to calculate the amount of weld that has to go into certain steel. I know most calculations have to cover the steel composition, load and so on. I am a welder by trade and would like to know how to figure this process.

RE: Weld thickness

It can vary from simple to very complicated.  Your question is too broad to answer appropriately.

Ron,
If you had to install 6- W8by31(8"by8")wide flange beams 7'long to side supports of 1/2 steel, running consecutively 3'apart with a load of 50,000lbs on them. How would you calculate this? How much weld should go into welding these flanges?

Thanks,

Jim  

RE: Weld thickness

My recommendation is to obtain the services of a qualified engineer with AWS D1.1 design experience. Bob
