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.

It can vary from simple to very complicated. Your question is too broad to answer appropriately.

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

My recommendation is to obtain the services of a qualified engineer with AWS D1.1 design experience. Bob
