in which Ju is found by conventional methods for an area having unit width. The trans-
fer formula for Ju must be employed when the welds occur in groups, as in Fig. 9–12.
Table 9–1 lists the throat areas and the unit second polar moments of area for the most
common fillet welds encountered. The example that follows is typical of the calcula-
tions normally made.
