Where can I find limitations regarding heating of reinforcing bars for bending bars in the field?

RE: field bending reinforcing bars
ABSOLUTELY NO WELDING OF REINFORCING BARS OR TORCHING TO BEND REINFORCING BARS SHALL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC APPROVAL OF THE ENGINEER
In other words...don't allow heating of reinforcing bars.
RE: field bending reinforcing bars
For what I remember heating (when the bar chemistry so allows) was only starting to be commendable #11 and above, but check.
These diameters shouldn't be used, because tests show that over 20 mm of diameter the bars distroy the concrete on dynamic solicitation, i.e., the steel punches the concrete in spite of rib protrusions. As long as you can, use 20 mm or less diameter bars.
