This course is designed for engineers, welding inspectors and supervisors who are responsible for quality control during the manufacture of welded steel structures.

 

The code is used internationally for components such as bridges, buildings, draglines, oil production platforms, mining headgear, shaft steelwork, earthmoving and mining equipment, power station structures, etc.

 

With the national moves to select a maximum of two codes for the design, fabrication and inspection of structural steel, it is likely that one from the United States of America and the new CEN standard will be selected. This AWS Code is being incorporated into the SABS 0162 document “Structural Use of Steel”.

Course Duration: 1.5 days
Examination Duration: 0.5 day

Candidates should have a Grade 10 qualification (minimum) plus relevant inspection experience in structural steel construction.

THEORY:

• Review of changes to the code
• General requirements related to welded steel structures - Section 1
• Design - Section 2
• Pre-qualified welding procedures - Section 3
• Welding procedure and performance qualification - Section 4
• Fabrication requirements - Section 5
• Inspection requirements - Section 6

PRACTICAL:

Solve questions normally associated with fabrication of steel structures using the applicable code sections.

Successful students will be able to use and interpret the code with regard to:

• Using pre-qualified welding procedures
• Qualification of welders and welding procedures
• Allowable materials
• Fabrication requirements
• Inspection and tests
• Marking and reports

Theoretical examination to SAIW requirements for the AWS D1.1.

Minimum: 4
Maximum: 12
