To return or not to return?
End returns, otherwise known as boxing, are the continuation
of a fillet weld around the corner of a member as an extension of
the primary weld. End returns are used to ensure quality terminations
to welds and to provide some resistance to prying of the weld
roots. In general, end returns are neither prohibited nor required.
AISC specification Section J2.2b provides further discussion on the
requirements and limitations for end returns. In statically loaded
structures, fillet welds can be stopped short of the end of the joint by
a length equal to the leg size of the weld, or continue to the end or
be returned around the corner, except as noted in J2.2b(1)-(4). One
exception to note is that for flexible connections, such as framing
angles and tees, the tension edges of the outstanding legs or flanges
must be left unwelded over a portion of their length to assure flexibility
of the connection. If end returns are used in this case, their
length must be restricted to not more than four times the weld size or
half the width of the angle, as shown in the following figure. |
