    Thanks for the link. This actually looks pretty close to what I have for the FCP.

    Fracture Control Plan

    Well, the audit isn't going to happen until I have a third party come in and do an internal audit for me first. I think that is going to happen in about 3 weeks. I have a strong feeling that isn't going to go well, but that is a good thing. As for going for the FC endorsement, we are doing...

    Fracture Control Plan

    You might have. I am in Galveston, and we are trying to get certified. I have a third party coming in to look over what all I have done. If it was me you talked with on the phone, then maybe you remember me telling you I am doing this all alone. Starting from scratch with no prior bridge...

    Fracture Control Plan

    That is true that for most work, TXDOT has its own design, and hires a fabricator to build it. However, you still have to provide detailing and a mock up has to be done to get certification, which requires an engineering firm since we don't have one in house.

    Fracture Control Plan

    I wrote a QC manual for AISC SImple bridge certification and was preparing for that audit, but found out I had to upgrade to Major bridge with a Fracture critical endorsement. I have no problem updating the manual to encompass the few changes between Simple and Major, but writting a Fracture...

    D1.5 WPS/PQR

    Okay, I have an update. I am starting the WPS qualification this week. We are going to use the A36 plate we have in stock, which saves us money, as it conforms to A709 gr 250 plate. I have a question now regarding the 5.12 qualification. I see there are several methods to provide a range of...

    D1.5 WPS/PQR

    My company hired me about a month ago as the QC Manager. I was an AI for 2 years, and in the navy for 9. I have lots of QC experience. I was hired on to help change things for them, and to promote growth by getting the company certified in the AISC SBR program. I have made the manual, and...

    AWS D1.5 Bridge Code: PQR question

    I also would like a copy of that spreadsheet. My company is just getting into AISC SBR certification, and I am having to build this thing from the ground up. I have lots of ASME experience, but no AWS experience. As I read through the D1.5 I notice it is way more restrictive. SO any help is...

    tips on choosing welding consumables

    I am a previous AI that is now a QC manager. I am reviewing our WPS/PQR and certs and noticing a lot of trouble. We qualified our procedures to ASME section IX, but do very little Code welding. I am curious about welding consumable choices. I have not ever had to ensure suitablility of rods...
