... copes. The applicability of Weibull stress approach and Toughness Scaling Model approach in predicting brittle fracture from crack tips was verified. Furthermore, the effect that the shape of weld access hole gives to ultimate strength of specimens was examined. Consequently, it was shown...

... ABSTRACT This paper concerns the applicability of prediction approach of brittle fracture initiated at toes of weld access hole. In order to find suitable shape of beams copes in the field-welded joint, the cyclic loading tests using beam-to-diaphragm joint models, which were designated...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents three full-scale tests of beam-to-RHS column connections without weld access holes. The aim of the tests is to investigate the plastic deformation capacity and ultimate strength of this type of beam-to-column connection. The ultimate moment capacities of the welded...

... fatigue strength as the original new butt welds, even after repairing the same location up to four times. The fatigue strength of weld access holes can also be nearly restored with repair welds of cracks. INTRODUCTION Some commercial ships have exhibited extensive fatigue cracking at welded details...
