I had called out 30ft long W beams for this job. After a visit to the site, I noticed that the beams had been spliced by the fabricator. Is it common for the fabricator to shop splice a 30ft beam?
One beam is noticeably spliced and was not aligned when welded, with approximately a 1/8" offset from one web to the other. AISC standard code of practice did not seem to address this. Is there a guide or standard that would provide acceptable tolerances?
Thanks in advance.
