Weld Design
(OP)
From time to time I have the need to design a few welds. Is there softwar available to help on this? I have been using the steel Handbook tables.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

The Steel Construction Manual tables 8-4 thru 8-11 use the instantaneous center of rotation method (plastic). I only recall seeing the elastic method in Blodgett's book. While it is fairly easy to use hand calculation for the elastic method; tables, a spreadsheet or other software is probalably more practical for the instantaneous center of rotation method. The only example calculations for the instaneous center of rotation method that I have found is in Salmon and Johnson's text. I would like to see other examples if anyone knows of any.

Alternatively, another spreadsheet is here. Look for WeldCalc spreadsheet.
