| Abstract: |
In addition to the common mild steels, nowadays high performance steels with good weldability and high ductility are available for the construction industry. By using steels with higher resis- tance/weight material ratio savings can be obtained especially in the case of heavy constructions such as bridges, wide spanning roofs and high-rised buildings. However, for the particular situation of joining high strength steel by welds, e.g. in many cases in design codes such as EN 1993-1-8 [1] the rules are inadequate because recent rules and safety margins are developed traditionally for standard steels and then transferred to high strength steels. |
