Effect of weld imperfections on the fatigue resistance of butt-welded connections

Existing standards and recommendations such as prEN 1993-1-9, IIW recommendations, and EN 13001-3-1, provide reference values for the fatigue resistance of butt-welded connections with reference to ISO 5817 quality levels. Nevertheless, these…
