Effective area of partial penetration weld.
Effective area of partial penetration weld.
(OP)
I have two steel text books and the steel manual that all refer to Rn for the base metal being FBM*ABM where ABM is the "Cross-sectional area of the base metal". Neither of the text books describe what how to calculate ABM and in the manual Table J2.5 just refers you back to J4 which is where the equation came from with no explanation of what it is. Help please!

I'm looking for the area of the base metal when welding something like a 45 degree V with a depth of 1/2" X 4" long.
Thanks

The effective throat is shown on table J2.1 for groove welds, J2.2 for flare bevels.

I'm looking for the ABM not Aw.
I think that it is just the thickness of the thinner connecting plate time the length of the weld.
Thanks
