    Weld Thickness

    Ron, If you had to install 6- W8by31(8"by8")wide flange beams 7'long to side supports of 1/2 steel, running consecutively 3'apart with a load of 50,000lbs on them. How would you calculate this? How much weld should go into welding these flanges? Thanks, Jim

    Weld thickness

    Looking for information on how to calculate the amount of weld that has to go into certain steel. I know most calculations have to cover the steel composition, load and so on. I am a welder by trade and would like to know how to figure this process.
