Fatigue Design Procedure for Welded Hollow Section Joints: Recommendations of IIW Subcommission XV-E (Woodhead Publishing Series in Welding and Other Joining Technologies)

This International Institute of Welding (IIW) report was presented at the 52nd Annual Assembly in Lisbon in June 1999. It contains recommendations representing a consensus on international best practice, focusing on a 'hot spot stress' approach. A wide range of joint types is covered, the new fatigue design curve for both RHS and CHS is dealt with and detailed values for stress concentration factors are provided. The purpose of this current IIW document is to serve both as an International Standards Organisation (ISO) draft specification and as a model standard for national and regional specifications worldwide. The Recommendations (Part one) and Commentary (Part two) were edited by Dr X-L Zhao of Monash University, Australia and Professor J A Packer of the University of Toronto, Canada Content: Front Matter , Page i Copyright , Page ii Preface , Page v 1 - Scope and General , Pages 3-10 2 - Fatigue Design Procedures , Page 11 3 - Fatigue Strength , Pages 12-16 4 - SCF Calculations for CRS Joints , Pages 17-26 5 - SCF Calculations for RHS Joints , Pages 27-33 A - Quality Requirements for Hollow Sections , Page 34 B - Weld Details , Pages 35-36 C - A Fatigue Assessment Procedure , Page 37 D - SCF Formulae and Graphs for CHS Joints , Pages 38-49 E - SCF Formulae and Graphs for RHS Joints , Pages 50-63 C1 - Scope and General , Pages 67-69 C2 - Fatigue Design Procedures , Page 70 C3 - Fatigue Strength , Pages 71-73 C4 - SCF Calculations for CHS Joints , Pages 74-78 C5 - SCF Calculations for RHS Joints , Pages 79-82 CA - Quality Requirements for Hollow Sections , Page 83 CB - Weld Details , Page 84 CC - A Fatigue Assessment Procedure , Page 85 CD - SCF Formulae and Graphs for CHS Joints , Page 86 CE - SCF Formulae and Graphs for RHS Joints , Page 87 List of References , Pages 88-90 This International Institute of Welding (IIW) report was presented at the 52nd Annual Assembly in Lisbon in June 1999.
