It took me a while to realize what I was looking at because it seemed so insane. Holy cow.

Assuming they used the right kind of stick and each pass got properly cleaned before the next layer, wouldn't that block be pretty ridiculously strong?

It would be ridiculously strong but also ridiculously brittle, so if there's any flex or vibrations it will snap.

The lake exploded as he was backing his trailer in, and it sent the seadoo into his truck. Exploding lakes is a common problem.

Good thing there aren't any regular naturally occurring sources of flex forces and vibrations in Japan!

One structural engineer at work says "because they used backer bars to prevent any blowouts, and the weld matches the thickness of the flange, this is would seem to be a valid connection." But then he went on to talk about how this is done to exploit cheap laborers in China and India. :(

Waiting to see what the others think of it.

To be honest I'm not sure what other ways somebody could do a connection like this.There's no access for a track welder under the web of beam so you end up having to do the whole joint by hand. As long as they're watching interpass temperature, cleaning between each pass, and x-raying the weld afterwards it should be fine. They could have maybe put some funny bevels into the branch plate to avoid some extra welding but that's probably not any cheaper than just paying someone for 400 hours of welding.

This assumes that they didn't fill the entire center of the joint with loose welding rod and then run stringers over the top of that to make it look like a full-pen weld

I didn't, but that explains why the movements felt a little strange. I figured the lack of driver was because the truck was remotely controlled or something
