"buttering" is not a prequalified scenario. You will have to write a procedure and perform a welding procedure qualification in accordance with section 7. A WPS for buttering will be useless unless it is followed up with a WPQR (welding procedure qualification record).

I am not 100 percent sure that the first remark is not useless sarcasm. Like I previously stated I do work with D1.1, and I am familiar with what is contained within that code. I already figured that a WPS could be written to support such combinations that is why I even included a statement...

I am a CWI working under AWS D1.1 almost %100 of the time and I have a question. Is there anywhere in the code that directly prohibits the use of both SMAW E7018 and FCAW E71T-8 electrodes to compile the same weld? A contractor is proposing to tack weld with E7018 and complete final welding with...

I am a CWI currently on a project where the only thing taking place is the installation of a WT section to the bottom flange of an existing beam. While I know this is a useful form of reinforcing an existing building I was curious about one thing. Could the heat input caused by welding the web...

short but sweet, I'll take it.

I am a AWS CWI and I often have to debate code issues on job sites. This one seems like a pretty straight foreward issue to me but I was surprised by the amount of opposition, even when I called the project engineer. Here it goes. There is ASTM A706 rebar that is called out to be welded to some...

So is it safe to say that (2) 1/4" fillet welds in a skewed tee joint would NOT effectively take the place of (2) 1/4" single bevel PJP's?

On my job I have skewed shear plates connecting to embed plates. There are 2 skeed connections and 1 transverse connection all occurring at roughly the same location. At this congested point could a fillet weld on either side of the skewed shear plate take place of a partial joint penetration...

that makes sense, thanks.

I am somewhat of a newcomer to the field and have a question. Is it a good practice to radius/transition the sides of the top and bottom flanges in a Tee Joint moment connection, or finish the joint flush with the ends of the flanges? Either way would be done by grinding weld run off.
