Weld size calculation

To determine the weld size a in a connection, we use a iterative process with a as parameter until the Von Mises rules is respected (Annexe M/EC3) :

First, we calculate the following parameter (Ref. [14] p529-532) :

As this parameters are known, we can calculate the stress distribution in each weld part :

Between  Element and beam :

Weld Check 1:   and  

Weld Check 2:   and  

Between Element and Column :

with

D

the shear force on the plate

N

the normal force

M

the moment: L.D

W

the flexion module:
