RE: Limcon Beam shear strength at weld

It looks like you are using the Eurocode. Here are some details from the output:

CHECK 5 - Beam Web at End Plate:

│Ag . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 370 mm2

│Av . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 370 mm2

│fy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 355 MPa

│gammaM0 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.00

Beam web shear resistance at weld . . . . . 75.8 ≥ VEd = 50.0 66% Pass EC3 1-1 (6.18)

The 50 is our load input, the 75.8 is the capacity. This capacity check may be limited by the weld strength of the welded material limits. In this case the beam web material and thickness are critical.
