Skewed connection weldability?
Skewed connection weldability?
(OP)
The attached sketch shows bent plates on both sides of a 45 degree skewed connection between the webs of two beams. Is the acute angle with the given dimensions too tight for a welder to make a C-shaped weld on both sides? I'd like to keep plates on both sides of the connection but can move to a single plate connection if need be.

There is a lot of room in there, but I cannot decipher exactly where you intend to weld from that description. Draw the fillets you intend to use on the same sketch..

SAIL3: Although I have specified plates on both sides to avoid eccentricity, the single plate would be easier to construct. I assume you welding all three sides of your single plate to the skewed beam web?
Sandman21: Thank you, I will check that section out.
