Acceptance Criteria of Complete Joint Penetration Steel Bridge Welds Evaluated Using Enhanced Ultrasonic Methods

This report presents guidelines for evaluating complete joint penetration (CJP) welds in steel bridges and proposes modifications to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)/ American Welding Society (AWS) D1.5. The guidelines are based on comprehensive analytical and round robin testing programs that established the critical flaw size that would be considered rejectable for typical bridge CJP welds and identify best practices for improved flaw detection and flaw characterization.
