CALCULATIONS
Class II Loading (Axial Load and Moment, all of base plate in compression )
Class III Loading (Axial Load and Moment, Tension on Anchor Bolts)
weld stress from shear (assume in web only) f_sh = Vf/(2*d) = 0.02 kN/mm
neutral axis for moment y = d/2 = 51.00 mm
moment of inertia of flange welds (unit thickness) I_fl = 4*(1/12*b)+4*b*(y^2) = 1061242.00 mm4
weld stress from moment (assume in flanges only) f_m = Mf*y/I_fl*1000 = 0.81 kN/mm
shear resistance of weld Vrw = 0.67*phi_w*(Dw/1.414)*Xu/1000 = 0.91 kN/mm
shear resistance of base metal Vrb = 0.67*phi_s*Dw*Fu/1000 = 1.74 kN/mm
check adequacy of weld IF(min(Vrw,Vrb)>max(f_sh,f_m),"ok","increase weld size")= ok
