Weld strength calculation according to ABS

[EngineerMickeyMouse]

Greetings,
Could you pleae advise, in which particular code of ABS one may find strength calculation formulas for stresses in welds ? (Not minimum dimensions scantlings, I am asking about detailes design procedure and allowable stresses).

No, detailed welded joint design as you describe is not in the Codes. That is not the purpose of the Codes - They "only" establish the minimum criteria in any case, not the "design" for every detailed case.

If you review ABS PART 3 HULL CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT, page 260 there are equations for determining weld fillet sizes.
