Welding rebar to a structural steel embed plate?
(OP)
I want to weld some #6 A706 rebars to a structural steel embed plate. This embed plate assembly will be designed to transfer shear force to concrete using ACI's shear-friction method. Thus, the weld of the rebars to the embed plate will have to develop the full tensile strength of the bar.
I haven't specified this type of weld before. Do I simply call for a full penetration weld of the rebar to plate to develop the full bar strength?
Also, ACI states that the welding shall be performed in accordance AWS D1.4. Does this adequately cover the procedure? Or is there any else I should specify?
Thanks in advance.

It’s no trick to get the answers when you have all the data. The trick is to get the answers when you only have half the data and half that is wrong and you don’t know which half - LORD KELVIN

Thanks. I found the same table in my PCI deign manual and match your numbers. Easy enough.
No, I did not consider those. Is there a reason why using these would be better? I assume they meet the rebar deformation requirements for development per ACI?
