allowable (asd 9th) weld capacity/formula same for shear and tension?

allowable (asd 9th) weld capacity/formula same for shear and tension?

(OP)
if based on asd 9th edition, weld capacity for shear and tension (not combined) are the same which is

=0.3*70*0.707*weld size*length

RE: allowable (asd 9th) weld capacity/formula same for shear and tension?

You get an increase based on direction of loading, up to 1.5

RE: allowable (asd 9th) weld capacity/formula same for shear and tension?

Welds fail in shear across the throat regardless of the direction of loading.

RE: allowable (asd 9th) weld capacity/formula same for shear and tension?

I second the comment by canwesteng. In fact, if you look at Table J2.5 in the 9th edition AISC Specification (or Table J2.5 of the current specification) for fillet welds, only shear strength is provided (not tension strength).
