(Xc,Yc) mo IC (Xo,Yo) ri Ri (Xi,Yi) XP W X YP INSTANTANEOUS CENTER OF ROTATION METHOD This spreadsheet is using the Instantaneous Center of Rotation Method to determine shear capacity of weld group. This method is described in AISC Steel Construction Manual (13th Edition). Eccentricity produces both a rotation and a translation of one connection element with respect to the other. The combined effect of this rotation and translation is equivalent to a rotation about a point defined as the instantaneous center of rotation (IC) as illustrated in Figure 8-4a. The location of the IC depends upon the geometry of the weld group as well as the direction and point of application of the load. The load deformation relationship for a unit length segment of weld is given by an equation P = 0.6FEXX(1+0.5sin1.5)[p(1.9-0.9p)]0.3 where P = nominal shear strength of the weld segment at a deformation , kips. FEXX = weld electrode strength, ksi. = load angle measured relative to the weld longitudinal axis, degrees. p = ratio of element deformation to its deformation at maximum stress. The nominal shear strength of the weld group is governed by u of the weld segment that first reaches its limit, where u = 1.087w(+6)-0.65 <= 0.7w , where w is the weld leg size, in. The nominal shear strengths of the other unit-length weld segments in the joint can be determined by applying a deformation A that varies linearly with distance from the IC. The nominal shear strength of the weld group is, then, the sum of the individual strengths of all weld segments. Because of the non-linear nature of the requisite iterative solution, for sufficient accuracy, a minimum of twenty weld elements for the longest line segment is generally recommended. The individual resistance of each weld segment is assumed to act on a line perpendicular to a ray passing through the IC and the centroid of that weld segment, as illustrated in Figure 8-4b. If the correct location of the instantaneous center has been selected, the three equations of in-plane static equilibrium ( Fx = 0, Fy = 0, M = 0) will be satisfied. ELASTIC METHOD For a force applied as illustrated in Figure 8-4, the eccentric force, P U is resolved into a force acting through the center of gravity (CG) of the weld group and a moment, P Ue, where e is the eccentricity. Each weld element is then assumed to resist an equal share of the direct shear. PU and a share of the eccentric moment PU proportional to its distance from the CG. The resultant vectorial sum of these forces rU is the required strength for the weld. The shear per linear inch of weld due to the concentric force, r P. is determined as rP = PU/l where lis the total length of the weld in the weld group. To determine the resultant shear per linear inch of weld, rP must be resolved into horizontal component r PX = rPsin and vertical componenet rPY = rPcos The shear per linear inch of weld due to the moment P Ue is rm = PUec/IP where c = radial distance from CG to point in weld group most remote from CG. in. IP = polar moment of inertia of the weld group, in 4 per in2 (IP = Ix + Iy) Horizontal and vertical components of r m are: rmx = PUecy/IP and rmy = PUecx/IP where cx and cy are the horizontal and vertical components of the radial distance c. The resultant force ru = (rpx+rmx) + (rpy+rmy) should be compared against the available strength found in AISC Specifications Table J2.5.

Concentrically Loaded Weld Group Elements

Concentrically loaded fillet weld groups must consider the effect of loading angle and deformation compatibility on weld strength. By multiplying the appropriate values of C from Table 81 by the available strength of each weld element, an effective strength is determined for each weld element. The available strength of the weld group can be determined by summing the effective strengths of all of the elements in a weld group. It should be noted that this table is to be entered at the largest load angle on any weld in the weld group.
