classes, intermittent welds are probably OK. I believe AWS does allow
intermittent welds in compression zones but you should check as I don't
have a copy of it. Some C class cranes may allow stitch welds but I
consider C class to be the dividing line between stitch and continuous
welds. I recommend reading "Crane Supporting Steel Structures- a Guide"
by Bob MacCrimmon and published by the Canadian Institute of Steel
Construction. A second edition will be coming out in the new year, but
the first ed is still good.
Most fabricators will choose to use intermittent welds, but a
knowledgeable one will be able to install a continuous weld with no
significant problems.
