CJP weld to column web
CJP weld to column web
(OP)
Hi,
Just out of curiosity, have anyone seen a beam stub CJP welded to column web? The column web is 1 1/2'' thick. Is it possible to CJP weld the beam to column web with this thickness? Beam flange and web thickness is 1 3/4''. Will the weld rip off the column web?
I just want to understand if CJP shop weld is possible between these two?
Thanks

Those are really heavy W12, 14 or W18 sections in the +250 lbs./ft. range. My biggest issue would be that you likely don’t have enough room to get into the joint to make proper CJP welds. Between working inside the column flanges, and reaching into the joint 5, 6, 7" around the column flange tips, and then also working around a beam section which barely fits btwn. the column flanges or the column flg/web radius’ (the ‘k’ area). The beam web weld would be very difficult too.

I would not suggest the CJP to the column web.
