Japanese Architectural Standard Shecification JASS 6 (2007 Structural Steelwork Shecification for Building Construction Established 1963, Revised 2007 Architectural Institute of Japan ez by archiver ati of aan ‘Alright ters, No part ofthis beakemay be repoliced nay fem ory 09 ans, wut 5.262, Shibo, Mino, Tekyo, Spon Peps, 2012 PREFACE Seventh Edition , 2007 ‘The first English language version of the Japanese Architectural Standard Specification, JASS 6, was published in 1993, based upon the Fifth Edition of the specification. After the JASS 6, Sixth Edition was published, a booklet in English was published to sumauarize the revisions made in that edition, In 2007, the Seventh Edition was published and at that time it was also decided to publish the second English language version of JASS 6, ‘The structural see! materi grade SN defined by the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) first appeared in the Sixth Edition. Inthe Seventh Edition, new technical information, uch as the results of damage investigations and research following the Kobe Earthquake of January 17, 1995 was included in both JIS standards and JASS 6 In this Seventh Edition, the following major revisions are made: 1. Terms of quality management comply with TIS Q 9000:2000, which isthe equivalent ofthe 180 standard, 2. Fabrication methods for connections are now defined based upon investigation and research and control methods for tightening high strength bolts have been revised. 3. Robotic welding is now included. 4. For galvanizing, new investigations and research has resulted in the addition of new requirements related to cracking and welding. JASS 6 is a standard specification for contracts and no commentary is ‘Technicsl Guideline of Structural Steelwork includes a commentary and tecncal information {or JASS 6, however, an English version has not been published, ‘In Japan, most structural see] work complies with JASS 6, and when foreign contractors ‘work in. Japan we hope that this Specification will asist with their understanding and we trust that it willbe a positive reference for their work. “The Commitee of JASS6 English 2* version acknowledges the coneibutions mde to this ‘Specification by the following individuals; Ian D. Aiken, Cameron J. Black, June, 2012 Architestual Institute of Japan PREFACE Fifth Edition , 1993, JASS stands for the Japanese Architectural Standard Specification, established by the Architectural Institute of Japan, Currently itis published in 28 separate volumes, being divided according to type of work. Jass6, which means volume 6 of JASS, covers structural steelwork for building construction. Ever since the fist edition was issued in 1953, it has served as guideline toward assuring quality of buildings and workmanship by maintaining the standard of building construction methods. ‘The purpose of establishing a standard specification for construction work is to formulate an ppropriste constuction standard for improving the quality of buildings and rationalizing execution procedures. While compiling the specifieations into a system, the following points were taken into consideration ‘The specification is not intended to restrict nor regulate architectural design and cnginering work, but what can be standardized without any problem were as much as possible, so as to ensure 2 minimum standard of building construction workmanship. '. Recent trends in construction techniques have been to concentrate on narrower specializations. Therefore th Specification was formulated with the close co-operation of ‘ number of construction techniques and specialist, Attempt was made to maintain the organic connections among a variety of technical fields, as well as (o introduce various specialized techniques to construction practoes by means of Specification Tn order to keep up with the progres in technical research and in advances in materials, results obtained by studies were diretly linked to practical use, so that such results may be incorporated into the specification as soon as practical and thereby ensure up-to-date construction technology, Since the release ofthe first edition, 2 number of new materials and fabrication methods have been developed. Wit this as @ background, the Specification has been revised several ‘times, but the purpose has maintained unchanged, Ths issue isthe first English version based on the 1993 edition, Although JASS is not a building code as such, itis treted similarly to a building code, indicating how construction work should be carried out, I would not be an overstetement to say that most of the building construction in Japan today is earied out in accordance with JASS. Where special expression is necessary, requirement are expressed as in accordance with the Special Not” In order to make this Specification applicable to individual construction, the Special Notes have to be formulized, Section 13, which contains all of the Spectal Notes from Section 1 through Section 12, i provided fortis purpose. tis with greatest pleasure that this English version of JASS 6 is presented. It is hoped that this will assist foreigners inthe understinding of structuel steelwork fr building construction jn Japan.
