Compression stressed weld joints on offshore platforms
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6443471
The strength of a weld joint joining the end of a first structural member to a second structural member wherein at least a portion of the weld joint is subject to cyclic tensioning stress is improved by applying a compressive stress load to the weld joint. An advantageous application is to the weld joints joining tubular members of offshore platforms.
