EK615
High-strength bolts in slip-critical joints may share the load with welds on the same connection interface if the bolts are fully tightened before the welds are made.
EK614
Bolts or high-strength bolts in bearing-type connections should not be considered as sharing the load with welds. If welds are used, they should be designed to carry the load in […]
EK385
The load should not be shared between welds and fasteners of different stiffnesses.
EK168
Welds are often assumed to be uniformly stressed, whether loaded transversely or longitudinally. However, there may be significantly higher stresses at the ends of long welds parallel to the joint.
