In this study, a series of fatigue tests was conducted to evaluate fatigue strength for the root gap difference with high strength steel with butt welded joints. A finite element analysis using effective notch stress method was also performed to compare effective notch factors each other with butt welded specimens made by copper backing. The results of fatigue tests were classified according to the root gap difference. Fatigue life of butt welded specimens is presented for determining the root gap of high strength steel with butt welded joints in terms of fatigue strength. Then effective notch stress was applied to interpret fatigue strength of butt welded specimen model which is reflected actual measured dimensions. As a result, fatigue strength of high strength steel with butt welded specimens is increased by root gap gets longer in length.

횡방향 맞대기 용접부를 갖는 고장력볼트 시험체를 대상으로 정적 및 피로실험을 실시하여 맞대기용접부가 마찰이음부의 정적 및 피로거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 그 결과 마찰면 내부 및 외부에 맞대기 용접부가 존재하면 이음부의 피로강도는 감소하는 경향이 있으나 시방서에서 규정하는 피로한계(B등급) 이상을 만족하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 피로강도는 마찰면 외부에 맞대기 용접부가 존재하는 경우가 더 낮은 경향을 나타내었다.

The assessments of weld defects by fracture mechanics are performed for design of welded Joints. In general, butt, T-type, and L-type welded joint are useful for welding structure. When linear weld defects are in welded joint, stress intensity factors for each joints are calculated by finite element method. Analysis results are shown for the fracture modes and characteristics of joint types. And they are founded for the weaken order of welded joints being T-type, butt, L-type.

본 연구에서는 평면결함의 일종인 용입부족의 크기가 맞대기 용접부의 피로 특성에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 규명하였다. 정적실험 결과 비드를 삭제하지 않은 맞대기 용접부의 인장강도와 항복강도는 용입부족 크기에 관계없이 일정하였다. 또한 피로실험 결과 완전용입된 맞대기 용접부의 피로강도는 국내 외의 시방서에서 규정하고 있는 피로 등급을 모두 만족하며, 용입부족 크기에 따른 피로강도의 저하는 용입부족 크기가 증가함에 따라 피로강도가 급격하게 감소하였다. 파단형태에서 완전용입 시험체와 용입부족 시험체의 파단형태가 서로 다른 형식을 취하고 있음을 알 수 있었는데 이는 용접지단부와 용접루트부의 기하학적 형상에 따른 응력집중계수의 변화에 기인하는 것을 유한요소해석에서 확인하였다. 따라서 강구조물에 대한 용접제작시 발생할 수 있는 용접결함 중 평면결함의 일종인 용입부족은 반드시 피해야만 강구조물의 공용수명을 충분히 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of weld bead profiles on stress concentration factors of double V groove butt-welded joints. The influence of three parameters such as toe radii, flank angles and bead heights on the stress concentration factors is studied by finite element analysis. It is shown that the three parameters have similar effects on the stress concentration factors. Finally a formula to estimate the stress concentration factors considering the three parameters and others is proposed and estimated results are compared with the results obtained by finite element analysis.

A large number of welded steel moment-resisting framed (SMRF) structures failed due to brittle fracture induced by ductile fracture at beam-to-column connections during 1994 Northridge earthquake and 1995 Kobe (Hyogoken-Nanbu) earthquake. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to clarifying the mechanism of the observed failures and corresponding countermeasures to ensure more ductile design of welded SMRF structures, while limited research on the failure analysis of the ductile cracking was conducted due to lack of computational capacity and proper theoretical models. As the first step to solve this complicated problem, this paper aims to establish a straightforward procedure to simulate ductile cracking of welded joints under monotonic tension. There are two difficulties in achieving the aim of this study, including measurement of true stress-true strain data and ductile fracture parameters of different subzones in a welded joint, such as weld deposit, heat affected zone and the boundary between the two. Butt joints are employed in this study for their simple configuration. Both experimental and numerical studies on two types of butt joints are conducted. The validity of the proposed procedure is proved by comparison between the experimental and numerical results.

This study aims to investigate the influence of bevel angles on the fatigue life of V-groove butt-welded joints with back-plates made by SM490A steel material, generally used for excavators, because changes in the geometry, material and surface properties of welded regions affect the fatigue life of welded structures. Butt type test specimens were prepared by the $CO_2$ welding of rolled steel plates (SM50A steel) with a thickness of 13.5 mm at a welding speed of 30 cm/min and these Butt type test specimens had two different groove angles, which are $40^{\circ}$ (A type) and $30^{\circ}$ (B type). In order to investigate differences in fatigue life between two types, 4-point bending fatigue tests were conducted with a stress ratio of R=0.1 under the cyclic loading environment at a frequency of 5 Hz at room temperature. The fatigue life of A type specimens was approximately 7% higher than that of B type specimens. The stress concentration factors calculated by finite element analysis were 2.16 for A type and 2.25 for B type, whose difference was caused by the influence of the back-plates of butt-welded structures. The current results could provide important guidelines to determine the V-groove angle of butt-welded joints with a satisfactory fatigue life, although under severe operating conditions.

In the periodic repainting of steel bridges, often the steel surface has to be prepared by using power tools to remove surface contaminants, such as deteriorated paint film and rust, and to increase the adhesive strengths of the paint films to be applied newly. Surface preparation by bristle roll-brush grinding, which is a type of power tool, may additionally introduce compressive residual stress and increase the fatigue resistance of welded joints owing to the impact of rotating bristle tips. In this study, fatigue tests were conducted for longitudinally out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joints and transversely butt-welded joints to evaluate the effect of bristle roll-brush grinding prior to repainting on the fatigue resistance of the welded joints. The test results showed that bristle roll-brush grinding introduced compressive residual stress and significantly increased fatigue limits by over 50%.

이 연구에서는 강교량 주부재의 연결에 주로 사용되는 횡방향 맞대기 용접부를 대상으로 입체결함의 일종인 블로우홀을 인위적으로 도입하고 블로우홀의 크기 및 형상에 따른 피로특성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 일련의 실험을 실시하였다. 정적실험결과 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 정적강도는 블로우홀의 크기 및 형상에 관계없이 일정한 경향을 나타내었다. 피로실험결과 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 피로강도는 용접루트부 내부에 존재하는 블로우홀의 기하학적 형상이나 결함률에 크게 영향을 받으므로 이로부터 결함률과 피로강도 사이의 상관관계를 정량적으로 규명하였다. 또한 피로균열성장속도와 응력확대계수범위 사이의 관계로부터 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 피로수명을 정확하게 산정할 수 있었다.

Fatigue behaviour of partially penetrated butt-welded joints in high strength steel plates, in which crack-like structural defect, i.e. lack of penetration(LOP), is inevitably introduced during welding processes, was investigated. Fatigue lives of two types of welded joints, namely X-grooved and K-grooved joints, were experimentally determined first. Observed fatigue crack propagation behaviours of the partially penetrated butt-welds were interpreted through considering 3-dimensional semi-elliptical crack shape in front of the LOP. Based on such interpretation, a fracture mechanical method to estimate stress intensity factors at the crack tip was proposed. Since the fatigue lift of the partially penetrated butt-welds was strongly influenced by the ratio of size of the LOP to thickness, D/t, the D/t was used as a main parameter to calculate the fatigue lift by using the proposed method. Comparison of the fatigue lift obtained experimentally and analytically agreed well with each other. Hence it is suggested that the method used in this work to predict fatigue lift of the partially penetrated butt-welds can be applied to real cases with improved lift-prediction capability.
