Weld 1

[StrP88]

I appreciate your input
I have the option to locate the weld parallel to the load "P" or perpendicular to the weld, any of the choices is better or recommended from the other?
Thank you

I'm guessing that this thread is related to this one: Link. If so, nominal 2" fillet welds on the top flange of the low beam ought to be sufficient.

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.

I'd say that something like this is typical. The stiffeners can be omitted or made partial height if one invests the time to justify those decisions.
