摘要

Several experimental studies have shown the beneficial effects of weld improvement methods on the fatigue strength of welded details. However, no structural code systematically includes weld improvement in detail classification. For the most popular improvement methods, the fatigue strength of improved details can be deduced from large existing databases. However, for non - classified details or when the fabrication and improvement processes have to be validated, testing of the improved detail is the only issue to insure the fatigue strength of a particular detail.
