Scope:to the welded modification or repair of existing steelThis code contains the requirements for fabricating welded steelstructures. When conformance to the Code is stipulated in contractdocuments, all provisions of this code shall be complied with,except for those provisions that the Engineer or contract documentsspecifically exempt.
The following is a summary of the code sections:
1. General Requirements. This section contains basic informationon the scope and limitations of the code.
2. Design of Welded Connections. This section containsrequirements for the design of welded connections composed oftubular, or nontubular, product form members.
3. Prequalification. This section contains the requirements forexempting a WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) from thequalification requirements of this
4. Qualification. This section contains the qualificationrequirements for WPSs and welding personnel (welders, weldingoperators and tack welders) necessary to perform code work.
5. Fabrication. This section contains the requirements for thepreparation, assembly and workmanship of welded steelstructures.
6. Inspection. This section contains criteria for thequalifications and responsibilities of inspectors, acceptancecriteria for production welds, and standard procedures forperforming visual inspection and NDT (nondestructive testing)
7. Stud Welding. This section contains the requirement for thewelding of studs to structural steel. 8. Strengthening and Repairof Existing Structures. This section contains basic informationpertinent structures.
Limitations. The code is not intended to be used for thefollowing:
(1) Steels with a minimum specified yield strength greater than100 ksi (690 MPa)
(2) Steels less than 118 in. (3.2 mm) thick. When base metalsthinner than 118 in. thick are to be welded, the requirements ofANSVAWS DI .3 should apply. When used in conjunction with ANSVAWSD1.3, conformance with the applicable provisions of this code shallbe required.
(3) Pressure vessels or pressure piping
(4) Base metals other than carbon or low-alloy steels
