Residual stresses and welding defects are often associated with the welding procedure. According to the fracture toughness of the material, the level of the residual stresses and the size of the discontinuities and flaws in the steel component being welded, cracks can initiate and repair will be required. In some cases, this repair will need to be repeated if additional cracks result from the weld repair procedure. As a result, welding and steel specifications contain limits as to the material fracture toughness and the size of discontinuities in the base metal. The origin of these limits is for the most part based on studies involving commonly used steel plates of less than 25 mm thickness. Nowadays, the use of heavy steel sections composed of plates or elements greater than 50mm in thickness has increased in construction because of current design specifications that require structures to withstand loads arising from blasts impact and large earthquakes, for example, which amplify the loading demands placed on the steel structure compared to what was considered for design in past decades. Available welding specifications and procedures have been employed in the fabrication of thick steel components; nonetheless, fabricators have reported unrepairable cracks that developed after the welding procedures were completed. The increase in thickness of the welded component results in greater restraint to the expansion and contraction induced by the welding procedure, which leads to an increase in the developed welding residual stresses. Moreover, the likelihood of discontinuities and flaws in thick steel is higher than that in found in thinner plates. In addition, the variability of the fracture toughness of a material increases as the thickness becomes larger. Accordingly, the welding of thick steel components requires separate welding specifications and acceptance criteria. In this thesis, a comprehensive study is conducted based on a numerical and an experimental framework, with which the welding procedures of thick steel plates (greater than 50mm) using an automated submerged arc welding process is evaluated. A finite element simulation of the welding is developed and validated with measured results from a welding experiment. Material tensile and fracture toughness testing is conducted for thick steel plates to determine the variability in these properties. A probabilistic approach for assessing discontinuities is proposed based on fracture toughness tests, as well as a database compiled from previous and current research. The finite element simulation and discontinuities assessment approach are used for the assessment of a parametric study of the main parameters of the welding procedure. According to the results of the parametric study, four submerged arc welding procedures are recommended for welding steel plates of thicknesses from 25 to 100mm. In addition, acceptance criteria are developed for discontinuities existing in the steel plates before welding based on a performance-based approach. Moreover, two experimental investigations are carried out; the first is to determine the effect of five submerged arc welding procedures on the weld quality and material properties of the heat affected zone. The results of the experiments are in agreement with the parametric study results. Based on the weld experiment results, two welding procedure specifications are recommended for welding thick steel plates. The second experiment aims to study the effect of multiple weld repairs on the heat affected zone of the base metal. The results of this study suggests using a maximum of three weld repairs at one location in steel fabrication." --
