Welding Sequence for Moment Connx of Bottom Beam Flange FEMA-353 Section 4.8

Welding Sequence for Moment Connx of Bottom Beam Flange FEMA-353 Section 4.8

Welding Sequence for Moment Connx of Bottom Beam Flange FEMA-353 Section 4.8

(OP)
Is the information located in FEMA-353 referenced in the subject line now located somewhere in AISC341 or AISC360... or maybe AWS D1.1?

I am working on a project under the 2010 CBC and was looking for a similar code reference that I can note.

Thanks.

I attached a scan from FEMA353 of the info.. I was possibly even going to just add this info directly to the documents on S0.1 sheet General Notes.

TDIengineer:
That certainly sounds like about the right sequence and procedure to me. That’s about what any good welding engineer would recommend as good practice for that weld. There should be a welding procedure written for that weld, which should be part of the inspection and documentation process. And, I would expect that very wording and sequence to be spelled out in it. I don’t know that you have to repeat that verbiage on your drawings, but you could note “Weld per FEMA-353, chap. 4, para. 4.8" on the tail of the weld symbol.

For the welding sequence, see AISC 341-05 section W5.6. The requirements are a little different than FEMA 358. Similar requirement to AISC 341 are in AWS D1.8, but only certain portions of this code are referenced in the 2010 CBC.
