Ultimate Strength of Weld Groups.xls

Description


This spreadsheet is using the Instantenious Center of Rotation Method to determine shear capacity of weld group. This method is described in LRFD Code (2nd Edition, Volume II, p. 8-154). In theory, the weld group rotates around IC, and the displacements of each unit-weld element is proportional to the distance to instantaneous centre.

Yakov has many more calculations available from his own website - you'll find a link here.

I changed the X2 values of welds 2 and 3 from 6 to 7; hit recalculate. Got
