welds and member thicknesses

[rasdelchimski100]

I just want to find out if any one knows of a good reference that teaches about when to choose between a fillet weld, PJP & CJP welds for rafter flange to end plate connections in ordinary moment rigid frames? Online links etc would also be appreciated. thanks

IMHO, the best reference is "Design of Welded Structures", by Blodgett. Here is a link on where to buy it:

If you want online links, check out one of the AISC's website:

In fact, here is a link at that site to give you an idea of the content of Blodgett's book:
