Rework given Problem assuming that the angle is an L127×89×12.7 and that the gusset plate is 13 mm thick. Assume a 10-mm fillet weld. Assume that the long leg of the angle is connected to the gusset plate
Problem
Design an end connection using longitudinal welds and an end transverse weld to develop the full tensile capacity of the angle shown. Use A36 steel and E70 electrodes.
Note: A reduction coefficient for the computation of the net area for a tension member that does not have all its cross-sectional elements connected to the supporting member is commonly used. This factor is neglected in this text.
