Flare-Bevel Groove Weld-AISC 13th ed.
(OP)
I am designing the exact weld shown on Pg 8-61 of 13ed of AISC manual. The load is a torsion of a HSS8x4x1/4, and I need to design the top weld for tension. From what I understand, equation Rn=0.6*F(EXX)*.7071*(D/16)*l is only for fillet welds. Anyone know what the tension weld strength equation is for Flare-Bevel Weld? Thanks.

For flare bevel, the difficulty is often determning the effective throat.

The tensile strength of the flare bevel groove weld is found in Table J2.5. Rn=0.6*Fexx*Area of weld (don't forget to multiply by phi or divide by omega). The effective throat of the weld is figured in Table J2.2.
