Hi I am looking for a pre qualified One side full penetration joint (full penetration butt weld or T joint) without backgouge and back support. I s this type of f joint available in AWS D1.1? It is possible to consider this type of joint suitable for cyclically loaded non tubolar connection? And in case, UT test is suitable or can generate possible indications? Thanks
No, it is not available as a Prequalified joint per D1.1:2015. Yes, it is 'possible'. You just have to run the PQR test and then write your WPS and get it approved by the Engineer.
If you have a tee joint such as a moment connection between a column flange and a beam flange, you may end up with a lamellar tear in the column flange.
