Why is the software calculating the web weld length as approximately half of what it is supposed to be?
My connection entails a W250x58 welded to an end plate. The design code is CSA S16-14 which uses some calculations from AISC DG16.
I would expect the web weld length of just one side to be calculated as follows:
Lw = D - 2tf - 2Rf (Depth of beam - 2 x flange thickness - 2 x Flange root radius) = 252mm - (2 x 13.5mm) - (2 x 19mm) = 187mm
The software is using about half that length (96 mm). I'm not sure if I am missing something. Please see pic below:
Can you please attach the ile or a quick check?

I tried uploading the RAM file, but its not allowing the upload. File is saved as ".rcnx"
I've uploaded the LIMCON file which you can import into RAM.
I have same Question
