Phase 2 Project Summary
Topical Investigations on Joining and Inspection
Task 5.2.6
Establish Weld Acceptance Criteria Considering Intended
Uses, Configuration, Material Properties, Procedures and the Reliability
of Available Inspection Procedures
Principal Investigator: William Mohr
Edison Welding Institute
Efforts will be undertaken in this sub-task to synthesize,
analyze and interpret data obtained from within the project, as well as
from various methods in other codes and guidelines for establishing fitness
for use criteria for welds. This information will be used to develop recommendations
for consideration by the Guideline Writers related to selection of suitable
materials, weld consumables and procedures and parameters, inspection methods
and acceptance criteria considering the intended behavior of the weld during
a seismic excitation.
The principal investigator is expected to work closely
with the investigators investigators involved with other activities within
the Phase 2 project, and shall compare present U.S. and international structural
welding codes to determine their major requirements with regards to seismically,
dynamically and statically loaded structures. .Special emphasis will be
placed on codes containing fitness for use provision
The detailed breakdown of the technical activities in this task are provided
