Weld design in built-up members
Weld design in built-up members
(OP)
I'm currently designing two built up channel sections to take the load from a column. The channels will span across 3 columns, with new HSS supports at the outer 2 columns. Pretensioned thru bolts will be used to fasten the existing center column to the built up channels. Once everything is installed the center column will be cut-off just below the channels, creating a wider openening for vehicles. My question is about the weld design. The maximum moment is about 1700 k*ft, at the center of the s.s. span. My question is does the weld connecting the flanges to the web have to be designed for the tension resulting from decoupling the max momment at the center. This is the critical section, isn't it? The total section height is 22", a 2"x20" web piece and two 1"x8" flange pieces.
Thanks
Thanks
