I'm in the process of engineering and detailing deep transfer-girder trusses made of jumbo W14 chord sections (shape group 4) and W14 diagonal members (shape group 3).  The members are orientated in the weak direction (chord flanges vert and diagonal members with flanges matching the plane of the chords).  The diagonal members have thinner flange sections than the chord flanges.  How would D1.1, article 2.7.1 and Figure 2.2 apply to the diagonal-to-chord full pen weld?  I don't see how tapering the chord flange locally to the diagonal member would be feasible, nor would the excessive weld build-up to the diagonal flange to meet the 2.5:1 taper be reasonable.  Incidentally, the diagonal members would be under compressive and tensile forces depending on the diagonal member's location within the truss.  Any comments on how to approach this in the detailing would be helpful.
