In the field of structural design of light alloy ships,this paper deals with the experimental determination of fatiguestrength of some structural welded details. This concerns unusualgeometries of welded joints due to the combination andoverlapping of different weld bead shapes.The details have been reproduced on specimens and tested underfatigue loading. The influences of welding process combinationshave been verified and experimental results compared to thereference curves given by international design standardsconcerning simpler welded joints.
