(OP)
I apologize for the elementary question, but the prequalified welds in the AISC manual develop the full capacity of the controlling member they are connecting correct?

RE: Quick Question
steelnstuff: welcome to EngTips! - developing the full capacity of the connecting member can be achieved many different ways depending on the joint geometry, loading, welding procedure, filler/base strength ratio, etc. etc. But, you have to specify the right weld joint to get that capacity.
Prequalified Complete Joint Penetration welds (CJP), if specified properly, will allow the connecting members' strengths to control. But, they should be used sparingly, as they are very material and labor expensive.
Depending on the joint geometry and loading, it is possible to develop member full capacity by providing different combinations of welds (that are not CJP), based on the sum of their effective weld areas (used to be called weld throats).
Maybe you could give some more information about your particular joint?

Link. Better start and reasonable.
