7. Design strength (in kips) per unit length (in inches) for equal leg fillet welds
8. Fy is the material’s yield strength in kips per square inch (ksi)
Ag is the cross-sectional area of the plate in square inches.

18. Allowable Stress Design
• The basic conception (or design
philosophy) of this method is that the
maximum stress in a structural member is
always smaller than a certain allowable
stress
