That’s in the Code?!? Ten Overlooked Provisions in AWS D1.1
For most steel construction projects in the U.S., work will be
done in accordance with the AISC Steel Specification. This standard
then invokes AWS D1.1 to address most welding-related requirements.
When the Structural Engineer specifies conformance with AISC or
AWS D1.1, they may think their task complete in terms of welding
issues. This presentation will address ten often overlooked
requirements from D1.1 that should be included in contract
documents or on drawings. Topics will include specification of
loading type, nondestructive testing, Charpy toughness requirements,
and alternate acceptance criteria. Details of groove and fillet
welds and common errors and omissions on drawings will be presented,
along with preferred practice. Construction details such as weld
backing and weld tabs will be discussed.
Presented in a checklist-type format, this presentation will explain
why these issues are important and provide practical suggestions as
to how potential problems can be overcome in construction documents.
