Unmasking the Ductility Factor, Shear Rupture, and Element Capacity in Welded Connections
Several considerations need to be made while in the process of designing welds and welded connections. This webinar will provide guidance on some of the more challenging considerations. Specifically, when (1) should the ductility factor be applied to a weld; (2) is the load path from the weld to the connecting element(s) unclear in regard to shear rupture checks, and; (3) should a weld be sized to develop the strength of a connecting plate? This presentation provides background into the development of these design considerations, and discusses the application of these limit state checks.
