This paper presents a probabilistic study of the effect of uncertain weld shape on the structural hot-spot stress distribution along the weld toe using a Monte-Carlo simulation and the finite element analysis. A structural detail consisting of a plate strip with a transversal butt welded joint and a tapered thickness step is used as case study. The weld shape is modelled based on weld profile parameters defined as random variables allowing the simulation of typical imperfections as a function of the quality level of welding. The analysis uses a linear finite element model build with second order solid finite elements. A finite element analysis program is used to calculate the stress distribution on the vicinity of the weld toe and a standard extrapolation procedure is used to obtain the structural hot-spot stresses. Different quality levels are used to generate the weld shapes and its effect on the hot-spot stresses is calculated afterwards.
