RF pad requirement

[akash sgk]

Dear Experts

I have a question regarding the RF pad design. If a vessel’s RF pad is designed as a full RF pad but is facing fabrication issues such as the welding not being allowed to touch and potential concerns with bolt placement, how does that impact our calculations?
Specifically, if the cutting portion of the RF pad is affected, do we need to recalculate the entire design calculations for that RF pad?

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion.
