Dear Friends
Applicable Code AWS D1.1 -Table 4.10
Isn't it a violation to code using 3G/4G qualified welder to weld 8" Bumper Frame(Pipe) & Handrails( Non-Load Bearing Items)?
Thanks

Only if the bumper frame is covered by a code.

The bumper in a parking garage may not be considered to be a "structure" in that it doesn't support a load as is the case with a steel framed building. If that is the case, the designer or EOR may consider the bumper outside the scope of D1.1.

I would direct the question to the owner or the owner's engineer.

Best regards - Al
