4.2 Torsional Shearing Stress of Weld

ΣMo = 0
xw = 44 mm Location of weld Centroid At X Axis
zw = 44 mm Location of weld Centroid At Z Axis

Ix = ∏(Lw /2 )3

fy2 = Mz* ( xw)

Iy

4.4 Minimum Weld Thickness Requirement

FR = [ (fy' )2 + ( Fx / Lt 2 + Fy/Lt 2+ Fz/Lt2) ]0.50

= 300.69 N/mm Maximum Shearing Stress at Most Stressed
tmin = FR
0.707 * ( 1mm ) * pw
= 1.933 mm Minimum Thickness of Weld required

Since tmin < tw therefore the weld Connection is ADEQUATE
