Welding quality and seismic damageability of building structures

Welding quality is one the effective and basic factors that influences seismic damageability of building structures. Bam earthquake thought us that the matter of welding quality must be mentioned as important as other factors of strengthening. According to primitive consideration, subjects related to structures design, instructional certificates, suitable education and decent supervision are regarded as the reason of low quality of welding in urban constructions. Utilizing welding in the factories, giving certificates of welding to the skillful welders of building, Teaching welding process to civil engineers and making a new system to supervise what a civil engineer does are Effective solutions to enhance welding quality of constructions
