AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code: You Specify It- Do You Know What It Really Says? Wesley J. Oliphant, PE, AWS-CWI, F.SEI, F.ASCE ReliaPOLE Inspection Services Company, LLC 1 AWS D1.1 2010 Structural Welding Code - Steel 2 “All welding shall be done in conformance with AWS D1.1” ? a minimum mandatory welding requirement ? for welded structures made from commonly used carbon and low alloy constructional steels (i.e. typical structural buildings). IS THAT ENOUGH FOR THE HIGH PERFORMANCE, NON- REDUNDANT, FRACTURE CRITICAL WELDING, WE REQUIRE IN A TYPICAL TUBULAR STEEL TRANSMISSION POLE DESIGN?
