Hello,
I have doubts in moment joint designed according to EN 1993-1-8.
For moment joint beam connected to flange of column, how does the min limit for weld size is decided in weld section?
there is no reference mentioned in front of this clause in joint report.
how it is calculated?
Also, weld design check of bottom and top flanges as per design report is calculated on the basis of 'weld length'. What is weld length?
Is it (2*flange width - 2*root radius - thk of web)???
If I am not wrong, SCI book quotes that when weld throat is less than full strength, design of joint shall done on the basis of beff i.e., effective width of plate calculated as per EN 1993-1-8, 4.10(2) or 4.10(4).
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Vishal
