Comment The haunch flange weld, haunch web weld and beam web capacity are checked as follows: • The moment at the end of the haunch (defined in the

design loading) is used to calculate the beam flange (limited to the plastic capacity of the beam flange) jabove the sharp end of the haunch.

• This beam flange force is split into two components –rafter flange force and the haunch flange force –basthe section depths and the relative strains betweentwo flanges. The haunch flange weld must be able to cthe haunch flange force and the haunch web weld muable to carry the rafter flange force. The beam web capacity must be greater than the component of thhaunch flange force normal to the beam.
