Minimum Tensile Strength (Fu) of Weld for E60 Electrode = 425 MPa
Allowable shear on base metal: (Use A36 (Fy = 250 MPa) for all steels)
Fv = 0.4Fy = 100 MPa
Use L = 57 mm
y1 = 14.5 mm
y2 = 35.5 mm
L1 = 2.448276 L2
L2 = 17 mm
L1 = 42 mm
Ae = uAg

Where:
` L = Length of Weld
W = Distance Between Welds
When L > 2W u = 1
When 2W > L > 1.5W u = 0.87
When 1.5W > L > W u = 0.75
Case
