Welded connections
Bending moment is carried mainly by the flanges Therefore connect flanges for moment transfer
Welded connection C=T Fillet welds Full penetration welds Compression transfer d can also be accomplished through direct bearing

simplified approach
Break eccentric load up into a vertical force along the vertical weld and a pair (couple) of horizontal forces along the horizontal welds Then choose lengths of welds to carry the calculated forces
