* Lessons from catastrophic weld failures
  Joint meeting with Leeds Assoication of Engineers
  Dr Geoff Booth MA PhD CEng FWeldI MIMechE, TWI Ltd

  Catastrophic failures have been the catalyst for both the 
  origination of structural codes and standards and their 
  subsequent development and improvement into the
  documents we have today. The presentation describes
  landmark failures and shows how the information gained
  has been used to improve design procedures. In
  particular, two recent failures, one of a complete
  separation of a ship and one of the collapse of a offshore
  oil mooring tower, are fully described and illustrated. In
  both cases, poor welding practice was responsible for the
  loss of many millions of pounds.
