Calculate Force on a Weld With Eccentric Loading:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
 
(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)
 
AISC Chapter 8:
The following uses the elastic method for calculating shear force per linear inch of the most stressed weld element in a connection with eccentric loading.  The load can be applied in the same plane as the faying surface or normal to the plane of the faying surface.
     
Distance from the center of gravity of weld group to the direct shear force (e - in or mm)
Direct shear force (Pu - kips or kN)
Total length of weld in the weld group (l - in or mm)
Polar moment of inertia of the weld group (Ip - in^4 or mm^4)
Distance from the y-axis of the center of gravity, CG,of the weld group to the weld (cx - in or mm)
Distance from the x-axis of the center of gravity, CG, of the weld group to the weld (cy - in or mm)
Angle of the applied shear from y-axis (vertical) of the weld group, (Ang - degrees)
