Technical BulletinWinter 20081 Welding Issues for Seismic Design RequirementsMetal Building SystemsbyW. Lee Shoemaker, , of Research & EngineeringBackgroundWelding Requirements for buildings designed to resist seismically-induced energy have undergone a variety of changes in thepast dozen years. With the publication of several specifications in 2005, some stability has now emerged. This bulletin isintended to outline and clarify the Welding Issues for Seismic Design that are specific to metal building systems. Applicable Codesand StandardsGeneral WeldingRequirementsWelding Requirements arestipulated in a number ofdocuments, including:(1) AISC Specification for SteelBuildings (AISC 360-05)(2) AISC Seismic Provisions forStructural Steel Buildings(AISC 341-05)(3) AISC Prequalified Connectionsfor Special and IntermediateMoment Frames for SeismicApplications (AISC 358-05)(4) AWS Structural Welding Code Steel (AWS ) (asreferenced by AISC 341-05)(5) AWS Structural Welding Code Seismic Supplement ( :2005)Also, FEMA 353 RecommendedWelding Requirements for theseismic load resisting system (SLRS)depend on whether the weld iscategorized as a demand critical weld,or is just part of the SLRS.
