Partial Joint Penetration Groove Welds in Aluminum

Laurent Gérin, University of Waterloo

Susan Guravich, Skarborn Engineering Ltd.

Presented At: 
CanWeld Conference 2019

This presentation will describe an experimental program on PJP welds, and will describe a developed strength model and its use in the context of the Canadian design codes (e.g. CSA W59.2). The experimental program will involve static strength and fatigue tests on connections containing PJP welds to investigate the validity of the current strength penalties imposed on these welds, and to begin to establish better models for use in design. In order to do this, 58 laboratory tests on aluminium plate connections are planned.
