Guidelines for Repair of Misfabricated Structural Steel Connections

Abstract
During the erection of structural steel, occasionally steel members will have connections that require field repairs due to mis-fits of the parts. Structural engineers are required to review and approve the "field work" details for these corrections. The field work details must be both structurally adequate and cost effective. Generally the field work details are proposed by the steel fabricator or steel erector. Sometimes the proposal may address the "cost" criteria without fully addressing structural adequacy. The proposal may be one that has been used in the past by the fabricator/erector but is not appropriate for the loading conditions where the problem occurs on your project.
