This study presents the performance evaluation of reworked welded joint that have weld
imperfections which may result the strength of the structures. Tensile, bending and shear tests have
been performed to evaluate the performance and reliability of reworked joint. Their effects on the
quality and performance of the reworked welded joint are depend on the requirements of the
structure in use. This study is providing detailed examination of the mechanical properties of the
carbon steel reworked welded joint by using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) techniques
