Fracture toughness such as CTOD or K
ca is applied to steel plates of the thickness used in actual constructions. On the other hand, K
1c or K
1a is to plates in the plane strain condition. Plate thickness dependence of the former stated in the standard of The Japan Welding Engineering Society (WES 3003) and High Pressure Institute of Japan (HIPS B102) is compared with that of the latter. Dependence of CTOD on plate thickness is fairly well compared to that of K
1c, when expressed in terms of the shift in the transition temperature. K
1a does not depend on plate thickness whereas K
ca shows the clear dependence on plate thickness, which is explained by a naive model taking into account the effect of side ligaments.
