Question

A WT6x15 shape made from A36 steel will be welded along its flanges to a gusset plate.

Determine the LRFD available strength, φRn, for gross tension yield of the WT shape.
Determine the required weld length, l, on each side of the WT in order to exceed the LRFD available strength for gross tension yield of the WT shape. Assume a weld size of w=5/16 inch and E70XX electrodes.
Based on the weld length, compute the available LRFD strength, φRn, for tensile rupture of the WT shape.
