 Weld Requirements:

At shear only case: 
Weld Length for shear, Lv = 17.500 in.
Shear Load per inch per weld, fv = R/Lv/2 = 33.000 / 17.500 / 2 = 0.943 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) = 0.943 / (0.500 * 1.856) = 1.016/16

Minimum fillet weld size : 
   At shear only load case = 0.06 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 )
 = 0.450 * 65.000 / ( 70.000 * 1.000 * 0.088 ) 
 = 4.728 
Dmax3 = project max fillet weld = 12.000
Dmax=min(Dmax1, Dmax2, Dmax3) = min(4.687, 4.728, 12.000)
 = 4.687 

Use weld size
D1 = 5.00
D2 = 5.00

Weld Strength :
Vertical weld capacity during shear only load, 1/omega * Rnv1 = 0.50 * 1.86 * 17.50 * (4.69 + 4.69) = 152.25 kips
