Three plate girders-Max. fillet weld size
Three plate girders-Max. fillet weld size
(OP)
In designing three plate built up girders are there any guidelines for restricting the maximum leg size of the flange to web fillet weld?The larger the weld size the more difficult it becomes for controlling distortion. The fillet weld is continuous and on both sides. I am looking for rules like "if the web size is 10mm. then the max. weld size shoudld not exceed-----?"
Any codes, papers or practical help!

US minimum size limits upon thickness I have for example in Table 2.17 of Gaylord, Gaylord and Stallmeyer's Design of steel structures 3d ed, p. 85. Other codes (AWS?)may be providing the maximum value you are searching for.

For material less than 1/4 in thick, the thickness is the maximum size.

www.gowelding.com contains lots of useful information on calculating the strength of fillet weld attachments.
