Abstract

The fatigue strength and preferred location of crack initiation at the welded termination of cover plates of beams is studied using the concepts of linear elastic fracture mechanics and finite element methods. From a parametric study it was found that in general, the stresses at the toe of the transverse end weld of tapered cover plates would be higher than the stresses at the toe of square-ended cover plates. However, the difference in the fatigue life would not warrant two different fatigue categories. It was also found that if the weld is particularly shallow and/or the size of the weld is small, then the likelihood of a crack forming at the root of the end weld is increased.
