Comments:
1 c haz o d 1 Node 10 and 13
indicate shift in neutral axis.
2 c o d 1
Element 1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 5-6, 8-9
3 c haz o d 0 and 14-15 define HAZs.
4 c haz o d 0
5 c o d 0
This solution of the example is
6 c haz o d 1 comprehensive because:
1. Calculations are shown in every
7 a o d 1 detail
i y z t T
8 c o o 0 2. It covers all classes of cross
section
9 bz hz w 0 3. The possibility to increase the
10 .
0.5 ( c b ) 0.5 . h w 0 effective thickness for elements not
fully stressed is shown. The iteration
11 b h w 0 procedure is then mandatory.
12 b h t 0 However, in this example, the result
is almost exactly the same as if a
13 0.5 . ( c b) 0.5 . h w 0 simplified method was used, that's
because there is no reduction of the
14 bz hz w 0
web thickness due to local buckling.
15 c o w 0

The beam is composed by two extrusions. The weld is

close to the neutral axis why HAZ softening does not 0
influence the moment resistance.
