Welded connections; Fillet welds; Shear lag; Block shear; Fatigue; Residual stress; High-strength steel; Finite element modelling; Artificial intelligence; Digital twinAbstract
Welded structural connections are fundamental components in steel structures, governing loadtransfer, stiffness compatibility, and global structural integrity. Unlike bolted connections, weldedjoints introduce load through material continuity, resulting in complex stress redistribution, residual stress development, and localized material degradation
