Seismic Design – Appropriate Implementation of the Overstrength Omega o Factor (12:30pm – 2pm Eastern)
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Design Guide 21, Welded Connections – A Primer for Engineers, was updated as a second edition in 2017, with greatly expanded coverage on Special Welding Applications, and Problems and Fixes. This SE University webinar, presented by the author of the Design Guide, Duane K. Miller, PE, covered new material that was not in the first edition, including the special applications of welding on embed plates, butter welding, heat shrinking, and welding on members to be hot dipped galvanized. In the Problems and Fixes portion, practical solutions to unexpected situations were discussed, including repair of cut edges, out-of-tolerance weld joints, repair of mill induced discontinuities, welds made without inspection, and more.
