7.07 kips
Specs = ASD
where:
P = required force, P u or P a , kips
D = number of sixteenths-of-an-inch in the fillet weld size
l = characteristic length of weld group, in.
a = e x /l
ex = horizontal component of eccentricity of P with
respect to centroid of weld group, in.
C = weld group coefficient
C1 = electrode strength coefficient (1.0 for E70XX electrodes)
Results:
C = 3.16
Available strength of a weld group, Rn/Ω, is determined with
C C1 D l
Rn/Ω = (1/Ω) = (Ω = 2.00)
Setting Rn/Ω = P,
D min = ΩP / C C1 l l min = ΩP / C C1 D
D min = 0.560 l min = 2.240 in
Conclusion:
Since Dmin = 0.56 < 2 (1/16's) and l min = 2.24 < 8 in.,
Weld is adequate!
