This publication encompasses the educational materials developed during the past five decades on the welding of steel structures and specifically directs it toward structural engineers and other design professionals. Effort has been made to condense the vast technological information into this volume. Numerous reading materials have been referenced at the end of each chapter for the reader to pursue further study.

This publication is useful both as a primer for design engineers who are searching for welding knowledge, and as an important source book for welding information. Major topics addressed in this publication are as follows:
- Welding Processes
- Health and Safety
- Welding Terms and Definitions
- Welding Codes and Standards
- Weld Joints, Weld Types and Welding Symbols
- Metal Arc Welding Processes (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW)
- Welding Metallurgy
- Residual Stress and Distortion
- Fracture and Fatigue of Welded Structures
- Welding Design Principles
- Welds Faults and Inspection
- Weld Cost Estimating
