no W weld joint strength reduction factor in sec 8 - why ?
B31.1 & ASME Sec VIII Div 1 stress basis are similar; still, when B31.1 has adopted W, why not in Sec-VIII Div-1 too ?
reg,
sam
PS: This is not directly related to Caesar-II; but, all vessel engineers may not know what is W;so in this forum, I raise this query. I have not read latest 2015 Sec VIII Div-1 yet!
