Can anyone tell me whether AWS D1.1 has incorporated ASTM A992 into it's documentation?

I'm still specifying ASTM A572 grade 50 steel with special requirements per AISC Technical Bulletin #3, March 1997. It's my understanding that it's inadvisable to spec. A992 until AWS has caught up.

If they have, I'll switch to specifying A992.

Thanks for your help!

AWS D1.1 -2000 does list ASTM A992 as a prequalified Base Metal in Table 3.1.

Thanks - I didn't have a handy copy of D1.1 with me. I guess I'll make A992 my new default spec for wide flange shapes.
