Recommended Bearing Seat <strong>Design</strong>to Resist Uplift Loads• The P weld strength given in the preceeding tablesdoes not account <strong>for</strong> the transverse loading ofthe weld due to uplift <strong>and</strong> thus could bemultiplied by 1.5.• Where a joist seat has been detailed <strong>for</strong> a boltedconnection, <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> any reason the bolt is notutilized, the empty slot in the bearing seat legseverely diminishes uplift capacity. In such acondition, if a weld <strong>and</strong> no bolt is to be used on aslotted bearing seat, then the weld should beapplied within the empty slot.<strong>SEAoT</strong> State Conference November 6-8, 2008 Houston TX <strong>SEAoT</strong> - 71
