Welding Rebar
Welding Rebar
(OP)
per the ACI318-05 7.5.4 welding of rebar is typically not permitted for crossing bars although it does make reference in section 3.5.2 to AWS D1.4. I do not have this code in my library can anyone tell me what this code specs for welding of rebar for crossing bars only?
Thanks
Thanks

I would choose not to, customer is insisting. It looks like it is fround upon but I have nothing to substantiate this. The only thing IBC, ACI point to in the code is the fact that it is not permitted unless authorized by the engineer. I am really getting pushed because most of our other competitors are giving the OK to do this.

In large bars it could cause secondary stresses that are undesirable.
I would ask them why they want them welded and then propose and appropriate alternative.
