Lincoln Electric has opened registration to its welding courses, with a plan to focus on code standards. 

As part of Lincoln Electric's Blodgett Design Seminars, its Design of Welded Connections: Steel Structures seminar will now take a closer look at AWS D1.5 code standards, in addition to the traditional coursework. The structural seminar will take place Oct. 24-28 at the Welding Technology & Training Center in Cleveland, Ohio. 

The seminar provides 36 hours of coursework across a full week of training, for 3.6 continuing education units (CEUs) for those who design and build steel structures such as buildings, bridges, towers and similar structures. Typical attendees include structural engineers, fabricators, erectors and inspectors. During the sessions, participants will review connections that are subject to static, cyclic and seismic loading.

“In the past, we’ve focused on AISC 360 and AWS D1.1 standards to support various engineering principles presented in the course,” said Curt Decker, senior structural engineer at Lincoln Electric, “The addition of more in-depth discussions on AWS D1.5 expands our training to cover a greater structural scope, particularly in light of infrastructure concerns coming to the forefront across the country.”

Seminar classes include such things as Weld Process Basics, Welding Metallurgy and Cracking, Basics of Welded Connections, Fracture Mechanics, Principles of Connection Design and Practical Solutions to Common Construction Challenges, in addition to other structural topics. Participants will have hands-on welding opportunities and demonstrations of additive and automation solutions to replenish the stock of new ideas and will take tours of Lincoln Electric.

The $900 seminar fee includes the seminar sessions, lunches, an evening dining event and daily hotel shuttle.
