EK427
Where the forces transmitted by fillet welds are relatively small and the structure is not exposed to weather, it may be advantageous to use intermittent welds.
EK424
As far as the distribution of stresses in welds are concerned, fillet welds are inferior to butt welds. The stress path through a side weld in a lap joint is […]
EK423
Butt welds may be classed as complete penetration or incomplete penetration.
EK422
The disadvantage of butt welds is that they require plate edge preparation.
EK421
The principal advantages of butt welds are the simplicity of the joint and the minimal change of the stress path. Static tension test results indicate that their average tensile strength […]
EK419
Care is needed in detailing welded joints of the T and corner type, where restrained weld shrinkage forces are transmitted through the weld into a plate in the through-thickness direction. […]
