ABSTRACT = {Residual stress after welding has negative effects on the service life of welded 
steel components or structures. This work reviews three most commonly used methods 
for predicting residual stress, namely, empirical, semi-empirical and process simulation 
methods. Basic principles adopted by these methods are introduced. The features and 
limitations of each method are discussed as well. The empirical method is the most 
practical but its accuracy relies heavily on experiments. Mechanical theories are 
employed in the semi-empirical method, while other aspects, such as temperature 
variation and phase transformation, are simply ignored. The process simulation method 
has been widely used due to its capability of handling with large and complex 
components. To improve its accuracy and efficiency, several improvements need to be 
done for each simulation aspect of this method.},
