Weld Group Analysis
Weld Group Analysis
(OP)
When analyzing a weld group for out of plane loads, is it more appropriate to use the elastic section modulus (S) or the plastic section modulus (Z) of the weld group? Are there situations where S is appropriate and others where Z is appropriate? I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I'm designing per AISC 13th edition, LRFD.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't got a copy of the AISC but this site might help but its to BS standards
