Znet = 9.03
Mr = Vr * e = 30.00 * 4.68 = 140.45 kips-in
Mc = 1/omega * Mn = 1/omega * Fy * Zgross = 0.60 * 36.00 * 9.03 = 195.07 kips-in
Vr = 30.00 kips
Vc = 1/omega * Vn = 1/omega * 0.60 * Fy * Ag = 0.67 * 0.60 * 36.00 * 4.25 = 61.20 kips
Interaction due to moment and shear, (Vr/Vc)^2 + (Mr/Mc)^2 <= 1.0
(Vr/Vc)^2 + (Mr/Mc)^2 = (30.00 / 61.20)^2 + (140.45 / 195.07)^2 = 0.76 <= 1  (OK)

Note: Mn <= 1.6My by inspection

MAXIMUM PLATE THICKNESS:
tmax = 6 * Mmax / (Fypl * d^2) Eq. 10-3
Mmax = (1/0.9) * Fv * Ab * C' Eq. 10-4
Mmax = (1/0.9) * 54 * 0.441786 * 15.7877 = 418.487 kips-in
tmax = 6 * 418.487 / (36 * 8.5^2) = 0.97 in.
Maximum Plate Thickness is Not a Limiting Criteria.

WELD:

 Weld Requirements:

At shear only case: 
Weld Length for shear, Lv = 8.500 in.
Shear Load per inch per weld, fv = R/Lv/2 = 30.000 / 8.500 / 2 = 1.765 kips/in/ weld 
theta = 0 deg.
cPhi  = 1.0 + 0.5 * sin(0)^1.5 = 1.000
Weld Coefficient = 0.6 * 70.000 * 1.000 * 1.000 * (2^0.5/2)*(1/16) = 1.856
Required weld size, Dv = fv/ (1/omega * coeff) = 1.765 / (0.500 * 1.856) = 1.901/16

Minimum fillet weld size : 
   At shear only load case = 0.12 in.
   per Table J2.4     = 0.19 in.
   5/8(tp)            = 0.31 in.
   user preference    = 0.25 in.

Dmax1 (using eqn 9-3)
 = tshpl * Fushpl / ( Fexx * C1 * 0.088)
 = 0.500 * 58.000 / ( 70.000 * 1.000 * 0.088 ) 
 = 4.687 
Dmax2 (using eqn 9-3)
 = twsupport * Fusupport / ( Fexx * C1 * 0.088 )
 = 0.300 * 65.000 / ( 70.000 * 1.000 * 0.088 ) 
 = 3.152 
Dmax3 = project max fillet weld = 12.000
Dmax=min(Dmax1, Dmax2, Dmax3) = min(4.687, 3.152, 12.000)
 = 3.152 

Dihedral Angle, DA       = 83.00 deg.
Gap on Obtuse Angle Side = 0.06 in.
Use weld size
Acute Side  D1 = 5.00
Obtuse Side D2 = 6.00

Weld Strength :
Vertical weld capacity during shear only load, 1/omega * Rnv1 = 0.50 * 1.86 * 8.50 * (3.15 + 3.15) = 49.73 kips
Check Effective Throat:
Acute Side Effect throat  = (D1/sin(DA)) * cos(DA/2) = (0.31/ sin( 83.00)) * cos( 41.50) = 0.24 in.
Obtuse Side Effect throat = ((D2/sin(DA)-tshpl/tan(DA))*sin((180-(180-DA))/2))= ((0.38 / sin(83.00) -0.50 / tan(83.00)) * sin((180 - (180 - 83.00)) / 2)) = 0.17 in.
Total Effective Throat    = 0.24 + 0.17 = 0.45 in.
Total Effective Throat of Square Case = D1 * 2^0.5 = 0.31 * 2^0.5 = 0.44 in.
0.44 in. <= 0.45 in. (OK)
