The presented work aims to investigate and establish a pre-cise, thorough and detailed database from series of experi-mental testing of submerged arc welded (SAW) specimens of various thicknesses typically applied in ships and offshore structures and foundations. Welded structures of all sizes and shapes exhibit fatigue failure primarily in the welded region, rather than in the base material, due to imperfections and flaws relating to the welding procedure.
The welded region has therefore received much attention from universities, re-search institutions along with industry as it is of significant practical importance for all fatigue loaded structures, such as e.g. marine structures.
