Tests of fatigue have been carried out on the two solutions specific design features proposed and with the aim of improving the resistance of the joints under cycling loading. By hiring the 3D models, was determined Strain Energy Density (SED), in a volume of control which surrounds the lowest point of interest. All of the experimental results have been presented in short. The synthesis shows that all data are within the range of the scattering of the proposed previously in the specialized literature for steel construction welded. %K Welded Joints %K Fatigue Strength %K Shear Loading %K Lo cal Approaches %K Strain Energy Density %U http://thescipub.com/abstract/10.3844/ajeassp.2017.1.12
