Flare Grove Weld
Flare Grove Weld
(OP)
We are showiing a 3/16" plate stringer being welded to a 1 1/2"x1 1/2"x11 ga steel tube. Historically we use a 3/16" fillet weld due to the radius of the tube. We are being challenged for using a 3/16" weld on a 11 ga. tube. We may use a Flare Grove Weld. How do you determine the design value of these weld?






RE: Flare Grove Weld
Is this just a plate being welded to a small piece of tube steel with overhang of the plate on both sides?

Prequalified joints in the AISC Manual are based on D1.1 prequalified joints. D1.1 is not intended for steel less than 1/8 in thick.
RE: Flare Grove Weld
11 gage is slightly less than 1/8" thickness.
As for weld thickness, the design value cannot be thicker than the thinner part welded and sometimes even less.
