Objective
Several Standards/Recommendations are available for welded joints fatigue design; such codes can be over conservative, sometimes not accounting for specific in service conditions (e.g. high R values) and not covering high-grade steels.
Recently the technological evolution, in particular for offshore applications, seems to point out a trend towards an increasing use of high strength/ high quality/high performances welded joints (SMYS 420 MPa) and the need to develop a specific know-how on their fatigue behaviour is becoming a crucial issue.
The general aim of this proposal is to comply with this request and to contribute to enlarge the Standards applicability.
