Reduction of weld sizes
06.04.2018
This project deals with the optimization of welds (fillet welds) of joints without overlapping made of rectangular and circular hollow sections.
The optimized design equations are used to create diagrams that allow simple and effective weld design. Diagrams for joints made of circular hollow sections (CHS) and rectangular hollow sections (RHS) with steel grades ranging from S235 to S690 are included in the CIDECT final report for brace angles from 30° to 90°.
The project had been funded by CIDECT and was executed by the Competence Center for Tubes and Hollow Sections (CCTH).
