August 27 Webinar: Welding In, On and Around Steel Joists

Description

The welding of steel joists has taken many forms over the nearly 100-year history of the industry. Standardization has helped specifiers have confidence in the finished products used in thousands of projects every year. There remains a hangover of misunderstanding about how joists are welded, what aspects of American Welding Society (AWS) criteria apply and what should the Engineer of Record should know about welding of joists.

This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute. Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.
