Weld at HSS Stair Stringer Dogleg
Weld at HSS Stair Stringer Dogleg
(OP)
What is the appropriate weld for an HSS to HSS splice at a dogleg in a stringer? This is exterior so it needs to be closed. I was looking on a welding forum and they were howling about engineers calling out cjp because of the difficulty of getting a backing bar to fit into this layout. Stresses are well below capacity of hss so I don't need cjp for strength, just need an all around weld that is reasonably easy to achieve.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

For a pjp, say a single bevel groove, I guess it's a different bevel in 3 conditions - the sides, the top, and the bottom to achieve the required angle? Seems weird to me but it's probably just showing my lack of weld knowledge.
