Welder's bible interprets all four major welding codes

Get instant, accurate answers to any question that arises during the design, construction and inspection stages of all your welding projects. This first-ever one-stop guide to the welding codes and standards from the AWS, UBC, AISC, BOCA and many others makes it a breeze to locate codes on every aspect of welding: piping; sheet metal; structural beams; fabrication; bolts and joints; you name it.

Packed with useful see-how-to-do-it illustrations, this alphabetized and extensively cross-referenced resource lets you instantly locate the welding code details you need in one of the book's six convenient sections--general information, structural steel, tables, high strength bolts, reinforcing steel and sheet steel--so you can easily find what you need and get back to work fast.

From the Author:

No easier to use book on these subjects exists.
The whole idea behind this book was to compile for the first time, in a single source, an alphabetical compilation of comprehensive code information derived from the American Welding Society, Uniform Building Code, SBCCI, BOCA and the AISC Manual of Steel Construction. The reader will find the following six alphabetized sections: General Information (prequalified joint configurations, structural shape dimensions, welding symbols,etc), Structural Steel (beginning with Allowable Roughness in Oxygen Cut Surfaces and ending with Workmanship), Tables and Figures (compiled from all major codes and standards), High Strength Bolts ( from Anchor Bolts to Washer Requirements), Reinforcing Steel (placement, welding, fit-up and identification of), and Sheet Steel (welding, fit-up and inspection of decking). The simplicity and straightforwardness of this publication is unsurpassed as can be demonstrated by, for example, turning to page B-1 and finding the Anchor Bolts entry located in the left hand column. Opposite the words Anchor Bolts and in the right hand column can be found the following three entries: 1. UBC, 2-358, 2210. 2. AISC, 5-79, J10. 3. AISC, 4-4, Table 1-C. These entries are explained as follows: 1. Uniform Building Code, Volume 2, page 358, Section 2210. 2. American Institute of Steel Construction, Part 4, page 79, Section J10. 3. American Institute of Steel Construction, Part 4, page 4, Table 1-C. The text directly beneath Anchor Bolts begins: UBC,..."The Protrusions of". This is the information that will be found at UBC, 2-358, 2210. Additional Anchor Bolt information can be found at AISC, 5-79, J10 and at AISC, 4-4, Table 1-C. This format is consistent throughout the compilation. The text found directly beneath the "subject" in the left hand column is representative of the first code number found in the right hand column. This book offers you the easiest, fastest method of code retrieval that exists.

From the Back Cover:

Minimize inspection problems with this one-stop guide to all welding codes. Get quick answers to all structural steel and welding building code questions that may arise at any stage of a project from initial design through construction to final inspection. This reference gives you code information for nearly every aspect of welding, including piping; sheet steel; structural members; fabrication processes; and bolts and joints. Here for the first time in a single source is an alphabetical compilation of comprehensive code information derived from the American Welding Society Codes; Uniform Building Codes; Standard Building Codes; AISC Steel Construction Manual; and BOCA National Building Codes. You'll find six alphabetized sections covering: general information such as prequalified joint configurations, structural shape dimensions, and welding symbols; structural steel from allowable roughness in oxygen cut surfaces to workmanship; tables and figures compiled from all major codes and standards; high strength bolts from anchor bolts to washers; reinforced steel placement, welding, fit-up, and identification of rebar; sheet steel welding, fit-up, and inspection of decking. Welding Codes, Standards, and Specifications also features special notations that refer to the code number from which the information was obtained thus saving you time in the compliance process.
