Application of Weld Overlays for Connection Repair
The Northridge earthquake of 1994 clearly indicated an urgent need to find efficient and economical means of repairing welded moment connections that experienced cracking and upgrading similar connections in older, existing buildings. One of the more promising and unique procedures for accomplishing this is the use of weld overlays. Using this procedure, an overlay weld of a tough and ductile weld material that is resistant to crack initiation and propagation is deposited over an existing weld that is less resistant and may contain small cracks and other defects. This paper summarizes the results of experimental tests on exterior connections modified with weld overlays and describes some of the analytical studies that were conducted in support of the experimental program.
