book for design of welded structures
(OP)
Hi. I'm trying to find a book that covers design ideas for welded structures. I'm tending to design more and more fabrications and sometimes I struggle to think of the best way to design a joint, interface, frame etc.
Ideally a book with plenty of illustrations/pictures.
Anyone know of such a book?
Thanks

Here are a couple of documents that can give you some guidance in your learning purposes. I hope they can be of some help.

It may still be available from the Lincoln Foundation, but I wasn't able to find a link. Here is one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Welded-Structures-Ome...

I agree with fegenbush, this is the book to have.

I've also come across Blodgett's Design of Weldments. As a mechanical engineer this sounds more appropriate. Would you agree? It's also on scribd so I'll have a look through.
I've seen them both on the lincoln foundation for $22 and $15 respectively. A bargain except the shipping for me in the UK is $86!! Oh well, I may just have to go for it ...

But yeah, keep your eyes open and snap pics of the roof while other people are watching the basketball game.
Don't be afraid to talk to shop guys, they've seen a lot, and know what works for them.
As far as a collection of ideas, there is a related thread in this forum

Omer Blodgett's book 'Design of Weldments' is fantastic to the extent that I have used it, and at $25, a super deal.

This one sounds interesting too, although I'm guessing a lot of it was harvested from "Design of weldments".
