A butt weld joint is developed on steel plates having yield and ultimate tensile strength of $$500$$ $$MPa$$ and $$700$$ $$MPa,$$ respectively. The thickness of the plates is $$8mm$$ and width is $$20mm.$$ Improper selection of welding parameters caused an undercut of $$3mm$$ depth along the weld. The maximum transverse tensile load (in $$kN$$) carrying capacity of the developed weld joint is _________________
