Product Description
The AWS D1.5M/D1.5 Bridge Welding Code, 9th Edition is an essential technical reference for welding engineers, bridge fabricators, inspectors, contractors, DOT personnel, quality managers, consultants, and structural steel professionals who need current guidance for bridge welding requirements, inspection procedures, and qualification practices. Published jointly by AWS and AASHTO, this code is a core resource for welded bridge construction and related steel fabrication work.
Built for real-world fabrication, inspection, and compliance use, this edition covers welding requirements for welded bridges made from carbon and low-alloy constructional steels designed to AASHTO or AREMA requirements. It is intended for both shop and field applications, making it especially valuable for bridge manufacturers, contractors, inspectors, and engineering teams working on highway and railway bridge projects.
A major strength of the 2025 edition is its direct relevance to current bridge welding practice. AWS states that this edition includes updates to welding requirements, inspection procedures, and qualification processes to reflect industry changes and improved alignment with current standards. That makes it a strong working reference for project execution, quality assurance, documentation, and technical review.
This standard is especially useful for professionals involved in bridge fabrication, welding procedure qualification, welder qualification, inspection, repair review, contractor quality programs, and standards-based compliance for steel bridge work. It is also a strong addition to bridge engineering, structural welding, and transportation standards libraries.
At 506 pages, this is a substantial and highly practical code reference. It provides the depth expected for serious professional use while remaining focused on one of the most important standards in bridge welding.
