The direct shear force/unit throat thickness is determined as:

Fr Sr:=

The force/unit throat thickness at point D, which is farthest from the centroid of the weld group, due to the two bending moments is determined as:

Mx Sby

Sb :Sbx + Sby

Sby 1.337 x 1 in

Sbx = 8.307 x 104 1IV in

Sb = 9.644 x 10 lbf in

The torsional force/unit of throat thickness at point D is determined as:

w Mz*-m 2

St : Jw St = 7.148 x 103 Ibf in

The net force/unit of weld throat thickness is computed as a root mean square

Seq "= [ Sb2 + (Sr + St)2 ]"' Seq = 1.074 x 105 Ibf in

Dividing by the yield strength of the material yields a minimum required throat thickness
