steel standards
United States practice is built on AISC 360 for design, the AISC Code of Standard Practice for commercial and execution matters, AWS D1.1 for structural welding and ASTM material specifications such as A36, A992 and A500. Quality is commonly demonstrated through AISC certification and inspection to the IBC special inspection requirements.
