Eccentric in plane load on L shape weld

Eccentric in plane load on L shape weld

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I need to check capacity of a "L" shape weld with an application of in plane eccentric load (Assuming an outrigger angle welded (L-Shape) to column with a vert load at end).

Can some help with a manual calculation for this case. I have tables from code, but no hand calcs to support that.

Thanks in advance.

Attach a sketch.  I assume you are referring to a fillet weld on an angle clip, but can't be sure from your description.

RE: Eccentric in plane load on L shape weld

I think the CERM covers this in the Weld Section if I remember right.  

RE: Eccentric in plane load on L shape weld

I also only showed the calc for the cg of the weld from the left, but the calc for the cg from the top is similar.

Hi republic08
