Groove Weld Strength
CJP / PJP groove-weld shear capacity on the effective throat (ASD / LRFD), with the CJP base-metal note and utilization (AWS D1.1 / AISC 360 §J2).
Formula and source
Effective throat: CJP = thinner connected part thickness, PJP = WPS effective throat; weld-metal shear (AISC Table J2.5) Fnw = 0.60*FEXX; ASD allowable 0.30*FEXX, LRFD design 0.75*0.60*FEXX; capacity = stress * throat * length.
Groove weld (CJP / PJP) shear capacity - the AISC 360 Table J2.5 weld-metal shear strength 0.60*FEXX on the effective throat - per AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code and AISC 360 §J2, by name; first-principles.
