Description / Abstract: This document defines two performance levels for welded joints, namely Basic Demand and Critical Demand, for longitudinal tensile strength of weld metals, impact toughness of weld metals and heat affected zones (HAZ) to suit the level of seismic performance specifications required for welded steel structures. This document supplements the provisions of the standards or codes for welding procedure qualification in the application of new steel materials, welding consumables, or complex joints, for welds that require the performance of Basic or Critical Demands as specified by the engineer in the contract.
