NEW AISC Seminar - Listen to the Steel: Duane Miller on Welding
Everything you need to know about your welding applications is discussed in this new one day seminar: Listen to the Steel. Each module gives concise resolution to steel welding issues and together they represent the full welding spectrum. All modules will be presented in each city, however, the modules relevant to each city's location will be covered more extensively.
|
Module 1
|
1.5 hrs
|
Special Welding Applications: Practical, straightforward solutions to challenging situations including welding on existing structures, extending structures, extending anchor bolts, welding AESS, "jumbo sections", and others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module 2
|
1.5 hrs
|
Cost Reduction Ideas: Design-related and detail-oriented alternative examples are discussed that can reduce cost of welding by 25% or more. Groove weld details, sizing of welds, selection of weld types, and more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module 3
|
1.5 hrs
|
Seismic Welding: An overview of the new AWS D1.8 Seismic Welding Supplement, geared toward the engineer with specific focus on what should be included in Contract Documents and what the Engineer should expect from contractors doing work to this Standard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module 4
|
1 hr
|
Cold Weather Welding: Two subjects in one module: how to perform welding when the outside temperatures are low, and factors to consider in the selection of filler metals and joint details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module 5
|
1 hr
|
Details of Welded Connections: All of those little details that come back to haunt you: fillet weld terminations, lap joint details, minimum sized welds, maximum sized welds, transverse and longitudinal fillet welds, backing and more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module 6
|
1.5 hrs
|
Listen to the Steel: A serious talk with a humorous title, this module examines fatigue failures from a variety of industries, citing the principle for design that was violated, as well as the corrective actions that were taken to overcome the problem.

Dr. Miller publishes frequently in the industry press and on three occasions has been awarded the coveted Silver Quill Award of the AWS for the excellence of his published work. He has authored and co-authored chapters of many texts, including the Highway Structures Design Handbook, Mark's Handbook of Engineering, and AISC's new Design Guide 21: Welded Connections - A Primer for Engineers. In 2001, he received the American Institute of Steel Construction's T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award, which annually recognizes an outstanding lecturer and author whose technical papers are considered to be a major contribution to engineering literature. In 2005, he received AISC's Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Miller earned his B.S. degree in Welding Engineering from Le Tourneau University in Longview, TX, an M.S. in Materials Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and was awarded an honoray Doctor of Science degree from Le Tourneau University in 1997. An AWS member since he was 19, he currently serves as First Vice Chair of the AWS D1 Structural Welding Code Committee and Chair of the Seismic Welding Subcommittee. Dr. Miller is a member of the AISC Specification Committee and is both a Certified Welding Inspector and a Certified Welder. In 1994, Dr. Miller was selected to chair the AWS's Presidential Task Group on Northridge earthquake issues. He also served on the Project Oversight Committee of SAC, a consortium sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide understanding of connection behavior in the wake of Northridge.
