CSA Certification Of Welding Inspectors (W178.2) Level 1 Practice Test

Which standard/code covers the "Design of Steel Structures"?

CAN/CSA S16 CSA W59 CSA Z662 CAN/CSA S136

Correct Answer:

CAN/CSA S16

Explanation:

CAN/CSA S16 is the standard that covers the design of steel structures. This code provides the rules for designing structural steel members and connections, including how to apply loads, determine strengths, and ensure safe, economical performance of steel-frame construction. The other codes address different aspects: W59 governs welding of steel and weld qualifications, Z662 targets oil and natural gas industry piping and facilities, and S136 focuses on cold-formed (thin-walled) steel members rather than general steel structure design. So for designing steel structures, the appropriate reference is CAN/CSA S16.
