It should be noted that ‘longation and area reduction values may wel besigniicarly lower in the }—earoughsthicknees direction than in a planar direction, The Inherent lrectionality is f small coneaqience in many applications, bat does become important in the design and fabrication of structures containing tice |) members with highly eestained welded ois. Attention should be given tothe posible occurrence of lamellar ering in highly restrained joints in welded stroctnes, especially those ung thick ~ plates or heneysuetural shapes. The estan ndced by some oi! designs tn resting weld deposit shrinkage cn impose tensiestrsine sulin high to cause sepecation or tearing in the ste om planes parallel tothe roiled surface of the strctual member being joined. The incidence of this Phenomenon canbe reduced or eliminated through pester anderstancing by Aesigness, deters and fabricators of (1) the inherent directionality of the proper oftractra tse, 2) th high rersntdevalopod in certain ype | of connections, and (3) the need fo adopt appropriate weld details snd welding procedures for throughthickness connections, Furthermore, scl can be sponifiad to be produc’ by special practic and/or prcoete 12 ‘enhance through thickness ety an thus asst in reducing the iketthood ‘of lamellar fenrng.

However, tnles preceuions ae taken in both design and fabrication, lamella tering may sill cur in thick plates and heavy shapes at resttined through thickness connections. Some guidelines for minimizing potential problems ‘Tjpins are given in Table 628. Lamellar teoring can be deteced with tultasonic testing ofthe fabcented steelwork.
