Structural Inspections for Seismic-Designed Structures Have You Quaking in Your Boots? We've Got You Covered! [U4]

Seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) have specific design criteria not only for steel members but also for specific welding requirements and inspection requirements for those welds. We'll review the various codes applicable to seismic structures, emphasizing the two primary codes for NDE inspections. AISC 341 covers design, fabrication, erection, and inspection requirements, while AWS D1.8 covers the welding, inspection techniques, and certifications required to weld and examine SFRS welds. We'll also talk about the different certifications required and the certifying agencies associated with them.
