Horizontal Shear can be entirely resisted in friction

8 welds - Base plate to column
Column Properties

Tension flange weld

Force in the tension flange weld to be lesser of
= Bc*Tc*Py
a) The tenion capacity of flange
= 1520.35 kN
b) Force in the tension flange

= (M/Dc-Tc) - N*Af/Ac

Therefore weld force per mm

= 5574.39 kN
= 2.52675 kN / mm
= 11.8
