Seminar Description

“The only full strength weld is a CJP”
“Weld backing is simply a construction aid”
“Welding is more costly than bolting”

Perhaps you’ve heard of some of these “welding myths”. As is often the case, some of these myths are rooted in facts, but also have exceptions. With a focus on practicing structural engineers, this webinar will tackle ten welding myths, identifying what is fact and what is not, and offering practical advice to better address these situations that are addressed by these often misleading myths.
The views and opinions expressed in this seminar are those of the speaker(s) and do not necessarily reflect those held by S. K. Ghosh Associates LLC.
