Hi Nick,
One code that comes to mind in Structural Steel Construction is AWS D1.3-98 which deals with sheet steel.
- Arc Spot Welds
-- Sheet steel to sheet steel
-- Sheet steel to supporting member
There are the General Provisions of the code and it's scope in Section 1;
There are design allowables listed in Section 2;
There are prequalification of WPSs in Section 3;
There are Qualifications provisions listed in Section 4 for WPSs and Welders;
Section 5 deals with Fabrication;
Section 6 deals with Inspection;
And Finally Section 7 deals with Stud Welding.
I'm afraid that unless someone else has a source for referencing all of these other codes along with the one that I mentioned, we are all forced to purchase these documents/codes just to view them. Possibly you can find someone willing to let you borrow what you need, to keep you from having to purchase them, just to view them.
I know this will sound silly as you don't know without looking at the codes themselves, but I'll throw this out there, "if" you know of a section of the code that you need, some of us can probably type/post the paragraphs that you are particularly interested in.
Best wishes in your research,
John Wright
