full penetration welding
full penetration welding
(OP)
In Italy, when you have a full penetration weld, you are not obliged to calculate the weld but only the section of the structure considering it as a laminated profile. Someone says that this is valid also for a "T" section : my opinion is that the full penetration weld is IMPOSSIBLE for such a section unless you use 3 flat plates (and this is absolutely stupid)
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks
PS : reference to any standard is welcome

What I don't understand is : how it is made the full pen weld in a T section ? May be for the web, but for the wing ?

2. Any weld "can be" checked (verified free of detectable flaws by NDE, I assume you mean). Whether it has to be checked is determined by the Code, the service, the client and insurance rules, the conditions and loads on the weld.

Then grind out the root pass from the other side of the plate, then weld that side.
Switch sides as required to keep the joint square.

What is the substantial difference from the fillet weld (blue outlined) ?

Think of it this way, a groove weld goes in the joint and can be either a partial or complete joint penetration weld.
The fillet weld, in contrast to a groove weld, goes on the joint and only needs to have fusion to the root. A fillet weld does not need to penetrate the joint.
A groove weld, which is in the joint (just another way of saying it penetrates the joint), can be either partial or complete joint penetration. The groove weld can also be reinforced with a fillet weld "on the joint."
