(OP)
It is common to see cold formed steel jamb details with 2 or 3 studs welded together. However, there is no guidance for transvere shear strength of Flare-V Groove welds in AWS D1.3 or AISI S100. Am I missing something, or are there any other references for the strength of Flare-V goove welds in cold formed steel? Quite often, shearing of the base metal governs the welds capacity in sheet steel.

Note there are several reputible references that show welded jambs:
SSMA Cold Formed Steel Details: http://www.ssma.com/technical-library-pages-9.php
OSHPD Standard Partition Wall Details (shows flare bevel groove welds on sheet ST3.04 ??): http://www.oshpd.ca.gov/FDD/Pre-Approval/index.htm...
