Weld checks specifics as per Eurocode (EN) and Indian Standard (IS)

This article is also available in

To comply with the standards and to provide safety of the design, the strength value considered in the code check of welds is newly calculated from the strength value of the parent steel for EN and IS standards and the weld material itself.

Weld strength f u (EN, IS) is taken as a minimum from:

$f u of connected plate 1$
$f u of connected plate 2$
$f u of welding material selected in manufacturing operation$

For other standards (AISC, CSA, AS, SP, GB, HKG), the strength is taken from the weld electrode.
