Part B ONLY PLEASE$14-33.($a$)$ If complete$-$joint$-$penetration groove welds formed with E$70$ electrodes are used to splice together the two halves of a $W24117,$ determine the strength capacity of the splice using both LRFD and ASD procedures. Use SMAW weld process, $F_y^{\text{'}}=50$ksi, $F_u=65$ksi.

$($b$)$ Repeat part $($a$)$ if two vertical partial$-$joint$-$penetration groove welds $(60V)$ with $3/16-$in throat thickness are used. $($Ans$-($a$)390\mathrm{.}9$ k LRFD$,260\mathrm{.}6$k ASD; $($b$)266\mathrm{.}5$ k LRFD$,177\mathrm{.}7$ k ASD$)$
