The new AWS D1.1
structural steel
Dozens of updates to the Structural Welding Code—Steel make
the 2006 edition indispensable for anyone designing, building, or
inspecting steel structures and products.
What’s in D1.1? For everyone involved in any phase of welding steel structures –
engineers, detailers, fabricators, erectors, inspectors, etc. – the new 540-page edition of
D1.1 spells out the requirements for design, procedures, qualification, fabrication,
inspection, and repair. A wide range of projects, repairs, and product forms come under its
authority, including pipe, plate, and structural shapes that are subject to either static or
cyclical stresses.
D1.1 includes:
• Design of tubular and nontubular welded connections
• Prequalification of welding procedures
• Qualification of new procedures and personnel
• Fabrication requirements, including base metals, consumables,
and tolerances
• Inspection requirements and acceptance criteria for various
examination methods
• Stud welding design, production, and inspection requirements
• Strengthening and repair of existing structures
• An extensive commentary annex that provides time-saving interpretation
• Dozens of valuable reference tables, charts, and forms
• And much more.
The power of D1.1 Working under strict ANSI procedures, the expert contributors and
reviewers of D1.1 have built upon the solid work of hundreds of prior experts who, since
its first edition in 1928, have labored virtually without pause to represent the most current
practices. The result is a resource that provides a consensus of the finest minds in the
industry on the best approaches to achieving a successful final outcome.
That’s why D1.1 has been mandated by local, state, and overseas codes, approved by
ANSI, adopted by the Defense Department, preferred by NASA, and required by contracts
for countless industrial and construction applications.
