7、 methods, classifications, and guides) of the American WeldingSociety (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National standards are either incorporated in, or made part of,doc
8、uments that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their pro-visions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved bythe governmental body having statutory jurisdictio
9、n before they can become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases,these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. Where thiscontractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must b
10、e by agreementbetween the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that brings togethervolunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the process andestablishes rules to pr
11、omote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify theaccuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever,
12、 whether special,indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance on this standard. AWS also makes no guarantee or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information published herein.In issuing and making this standard a

Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as approp
14、riate, seek theadvice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances. It isassumed that the use of this standard and its provisions are entrusted to appropriately qualified and competent personnel.This standard may be superseded by the issuance
15、of new editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition.Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard accept anyand all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the in
16、fringement of anypatent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.Finally, the AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.On occasion, text, tables, or figures are printed incorrectly, constituting errata. Such erra
17、ta, when discovered, are postedon the AWS web page (www.aws.org).Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request, inwriting, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Soci
18、ety,Attention: Managing Director, Technical Services Division, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 (see Annex C).With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered.These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this sta
19、ndard, and they do not constitute professional advice.Such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them. These individuals do not speakon behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS. In addi
20、-tion, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding. It must be reviewedevery five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn.
21、Comments (recommendations, additions,or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are required and should be addressedto AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS D1 Committee on StructuralWelding and the author of the comment
22、s will be informed of the Committees response to the comments. Guests areinvited to attend all meetings of the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding to express their comments verbally.Procedures for appeal of an adverse decision concerning all such comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of

This edition, AWS D1.4/D1.4M:2011, has additional revisions.The following is a summary of the significant technical revisions in this edition:1. Subclause 1.2.1 was revised top
27、address precast concrete components.2. New definitions were added under 1.5.3. Safety information was clarified in 1.7.4. Figure 2.1 was revised to clarify the centerline, nominal radius, and effective throat.5. Subclause 3.2.1 was revised to address indirect butt joints.6. Figure 3.2 was updated to
28、 illustrate degree ranges in all sketches.7. Figures 3.3 and 3.4 were revised to restrict the gaps between bars to nothing over 1/4D or 3/16 in 5 mm,whichever is less.8. Subclause 4.4.2 was modified to differentiate between the sum of maximum dimensions of all porosity versusmaximum dimensions of an
29、y single porosity or fusion-type discontinuity.9. New subclause 5.1.3 was added to address coated reinforcing steel and filler metal selection.10. Subclause 5.3 was added to list requirements for maximum wind velocity and minimum ambient temperature.11. New subclauses 5.10 and 5.11 were added to res
