Summary:On the complete welded joint of the welded plate girder, the fatigue strength of a straight joint was compared with the shift joint. These two types were compared in the executed bridge (The Urayamagawabashi ; composite beam). The effect of scallop and the filling up method of scallop were investigated. Principal points in the results of these studis are as follows : It is confirmed that the straight joint is never inferior to the shift one. The fatigue strength is fairly improved by filling up their scallops, but the best method of filling up has not been found and the joint witout scallops is ideal. It is more than 3 year since the Urayamagawabashi opened to traffic, and no damage has been found at all.
