Puddle (Arc Spot) Welds
Puddle (Arc Spot) Welds
(OP)
Is there an interaction equation for shear and tension on these welds? I don't see anything in the AWS D1.3
I was thinking maybe a single spot weld may not be permitted to resist combined loading, and the answer is to have more welds.
The application is diaphragm and uplift loads on metal roof deck.

I am surprised they even bothered with the nonlinear regression based on the scatter.
