Sheesh... nothing like getting rid of useful info!

I would read GCR 9.4.2.B. I don't see a problem welding your sleeves, but the rule does specify the bolts need to be in place. I have seen some left field interpretations of the GCR by tech officials in my years. Better to have the bolts in place. Regards

I talked to a local tech guy and he said the same thing. He works for a structural steel company and knows ultimately the welds are stronger but said some will argue that don't know any better. I didn't want to miss a race because of this...
