This code covers the welding requirements for AASHTO welded highway bridges made from carbon and low-alloy constructional steels. This 2002 edition contains dimensions in metric SI Units and U.S. Customary Units. Sections 1 through 7 constitute a body of rules forthe regulation of welding in steel construction. Section 9 of the previous edition has had its provisions distributed throughout the 2002 edition. Sections 8, 10, and 11 do not contain provisions, as their analogue D1.1 sections are not applicable to the D1.5 Code. Section 12 contains the requirements for fabricating fracture critical members.

Statement on Use of AWS American National Standards
All standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the American Welding Society are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the American National Standards Institute. When AWS standards are either incorporated in, or madepart of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases, thesestandards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.
