puddle weld tension capacity calculation
puddle weld tension capacity calculation
(OP)
i have roof deck slab connecting supporting steel by 5/8" dia puddle weld.
due to wind uplift on the roof, puddle weld will be in tension.
is
0.3 * 70 * (phi * 5/8^2 / 4 )
correct for the tension capacity of puddle weld?

i should have googled first before making a thread.

If the puddle weld is "reinforced" as required by AWS, then you might have enough perimeter lap to give both a weld bond to the decking and a lapping mechanical confinement that will put your puddle weld in some tension.
I tried to upload a sketch but engineering.com kept kicking me out, so I'll try again later.
