AWS D1.1/D1.1M – Structural Welding Code – Steel

This code covers the welding requirements for any type of welded structure made from the commonly used carbon and low-alloy constructional steels. Clauses 1 through 11 constitute a body of rules for the regulation of welding in steel construction. There are eight normative and eleven informative annexes in AWS D1.1 . A Commentary of the code is included with the document.

AWS D1.1 is a welding standard created and published by the American Welding Society (AWS). The official title of this standard is “Structural Welding Code – Steel.” AWS D1.1 provides requirements for the design, procedures, qualifications, fabrication, inspection, and repair of steel structures made by welding, brazing, and fusion methods.

This code is widely used in the construction industry, especially for welding structural steel components. It covers various aspects of welding, including the materials that can be welded, the types of welding processes that can be used, and the quality standards that must be met. Adhering to AWS D1.1 ensures the structural integrity and safety of welded steel constructions.
