Block shear for welded connection
Block shear for welded connection
(OP)
Does anyone have any guidance on evaluating block shear (tear-out) for a tension-loaded deep channel (C-section) only connected at its web, with a series of elongated ring welds? Can I assume the same fracture paths as with a bolted joint or is that too conservative?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
