Abstract
The performance of the weld joints is determined by not only the load-resisting cross-sectional area of the joint but also properties of region close to the weld metal, i.e. heat affected zone (HAZ) and base metal. The design engineer must keep in mind that HAZ can be significantly weaker or stronger than the weld. Accordingly, various parameters of the weld joint needed for design should be established. The procedure for the design of weld joints subjected to static and dynamic loading has been presented. This section describes the fundamentals of weld joint design including the parameters that are obtained after designing a weld joint.
