"The author's restricted hope in his Preface, that his book will, "in a small way" contribute to the dependability of large weldments disappoints me. It will greatly help those who read it." --Hallock C Campbell, Welding Journal

This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of welding technology as applied to large structures and process plant. The author takes account of the increasing necessity for engineers at all levels to be aware of problems such as fatigue failure and provides advice.

Processes
The metallurgical effects of fusion welding
The behaviour of welds in service
Structures
Pipeline and process plant
The reliability of welded structures and process plant.
