Default welding repair on chassis

Could I ask advice please on the correct way to repair a steel vehicle
chassis. I understand the proper way for say a rectangle type repair
is to have the top part of the replacement plate sharter than the
bottom....sort of like this /---\

/-----\
sort of shape...is this correct please. I understand it makes a
stronger joint,
also if the correct way is to make a flush joint do you just wedge the
new piece in place or is there a better way before you start to make
the take welds.
Thanks very much

Smokeyone
