The fracture behaviour of a welded tubular joint––an ESIS TC1-3 round robin on failure assessment methods: Part III-UK BS7910 methodology

The basic principles of assessment of defects in the new BS7910:1999 procedures as applied to offshore structure tubular joints are briefly described. Based on the author's experience with a series of research investigations into ultimate strength of cracked tubular joints, analyses are carried...

Description
Summary:The basic principles of assessment of defects in the new BS7910:1999 procedures as applied to offshore structure tubular joints are briefly described. Based on the author's experience with a series of research investigations into ultimate strength of cracked tubular joints, analyses are carried out to give safe estimates of the expected tearing behaviour and ultimate strength for the model tubular joints used for the ESIS TC1-3 round robin programme.
