Vc = phi * Vn = phi * 0.60 * Fy * Ag = 1.00 * 0.60 * 50.00 * 4.50 = 135.00 kips
Interaction due to moment and shear, (Vr/Vc)^2 + (Mr/Mc)^2 <= 1.0
(Vr/Vc)^2 + (Mr/Mc)^2 = (69.33 / 135.00)^2 + (88.29 / 607.50)^2 = 0.28 <= 1  (OK)

 Weld Requirements:

At shear only case: 
Weld Length for shear, Lv = 12.00 in.
Shear Load per inch per weld, fv = R/Lv/2 = 69.33 / 12.00 / 2 = 2.89 kips/in/ weld 
theta = 0 deg.

Weld Coefficient = 0.60 * 70.00 * 1.00 * 1.00 * (2^0.5/2)*(1/16) = 1.86
Required weld size, Dv = fv/ (phi * coeff) = 2.89 / (0.75 * 1.86) = 2.08/16

Minimum fillet weld size :

Weld Strength :

Vertical weld capacity during shear only load, phi * Rnv1 = 0.75 * 1.86 * 12.00 * (3.94 + 3.94) = 131.63 kips

Check Effective Throat:
Acute Side Effect throat  = (D1/sin(DA)) * cos(DA/2) = (0.25/ sin( 82.90)) * cos( 41.45) = 0.19 in.
Obtuse Side Effect throat (with gap < 1/16 in (2mm)) = D2/sin(DA)*sin(DA/2) = 0.25 / sin(82.90) * sin(82.90 / 2) = 0.17 in.
