PREFACE
Since the use of structural steel came into existence about thirty-five years ago, there has developed an industry engaged in the fabrication and erection of this material which at the present time is annually furnishing over $300,000,000 worth of material to the public.
During this period of evolution it is obvious that many inconsistent practices should have come into existence, and the American Institute of Steel Construction, representing the industry between the rolling mills and the buying public, have undertaken the codifying of the various conditions, with a view of establishing uniform practice.
The Instituter's Specification on the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steel has been received with wide spread approval, and this Code of Standard Practice is now being issued to cover conditions not touched in the Specification.
