1 Scope

1.1 This code is supplement to IS : 800-1962 and covers the use of metal arc welding in the design and fabrication of steel structures in general building construction. It is intended primarily for manual arc welding but may also be applied to automatic and semi-automatic arc processes.

1.2 This code, subject to the provisions of IS : 1024-1968 shall also apply to bridges and structures subject to dynamic loading.

1.3 The provisions of this code generally apply to the repair of existing building construction in mild steel but do not necessarily cover all the provisions applicable to the strengthening of existing structures which should be the subject of special consideration. Special provisions covering the design and fabrication of pipelines, boiler storage tanks and tubular steel structures, are intended to be dealt with in separate codes.
