Economy in Stiffened Seated Beam Connections
The current design method for stiffened seated beam connections is conservative for two reasons. First, the connection capacity is calculated based on an elastic analysis of the weld group which does not account for ductility and potential load redistribution in the weld group. Second, the additional strength of the portion of the weld group in tension is not accounted for. This paper will explain the assumptions underlying the current design method, illustrate why these assumptions are conservative, and provide alternative design procedures using safe, acceptable engineering methods to deliver a more economical connection.
