A reference guide for steel fabricators, inspectors and others involved in the structural steel building industry

The Shop Inspection Handbook for Structural Steel Buildings is a useful tool for everyone involved with the inspection of steel fabrication for buildings.

The Handbook provides the essential information for inspecting steel fabrication, including:

• Tabulation of applicable standards, specifications and references

• Structural steel materials

• Fabrication and tolerances

• Welding and welding materials

• Bolting and bolting materials

• Surface preparation and coatings

The Handbook provides quality information from the numerous standards and codes that govern steel fabrication, including:

• AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-10)

• AISC Code of Standard Practice (AISC 303-10)

• RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High Strength Bolts (RCSC 2009)
