Tensile Loads on Concentric Welded
Connection Members & Balanced Weld Group
About This Project
The Weld Connection Calculator computes the tensile and weld capacities of welded connections—specifically Concentric and Balanced Weld Groups—following NSCP 2015 Section 510 and Besavilla's Simplified Steel Design methodology. The analysis follows the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) approach to ensure safe and efficient structural connections.
The calculator performs comprehensive analysis including weld strength calculations, determines required weld lengths, evaluates plate tension member capacity, and verifies balanced conditions when applicable. It provides real-time validation of weld size limits based on plate thickness and identifies the controlling failure mode.
Key Features
- NSCP 2015 compliant calculations
- Weld strength and required length analysis
- Plate tension member capacity evaluation
- Weld size validation and failure mode identification
