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.
EK426
From the point of view of resistance to fatigue, fillet welds are inferior to butt welds. This is because there exists both an abrupt change in the direction of the […]
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 […]

Due to the limited deformation capacity of end fillet welds care should be taken to avoid the possibility of their being subject to a load much greater than the design […]
EK383
Relative deformation capacities of the elements in the load path: Plates in bending. Relatively large elastic deformation. Large deformation capacity when plastic hinges form. Plates in tension and plates in […]
