Rebar Vs Deformed Bar Anchor
Rebar Vs Deformed Bar Anchor
(OP)
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but what are the main differences between rebar (ASTM 615) and deformed bar anchors (A496). Is it a difference in material? size? deformation standards?
It seems to me that these can be used interchangeably in design, is that correct?
When would someone prefer one over the other? The main difference I can think of is that A615 is not weldable while deformed bar is...
Thanks.

So it seems you are comparing a typical rebar to a rebar with the additional "hockey puck" headed stud.

I am asking about the deformed bar anchor and how is it different from typical rebar. ie: you have a #4 rebar vs a 1/2" DAS....no "hockey puck" on either. Are they interchangeable? What makes them different?

A DBA (deformed bar anchor) is simply a piece of deformed steel bar or wire, which is welded onto a plate or other embed, and the bar develops using standard ACI development criteria. In order to rely on ACI computations for development, the deformations must meet the relevant ASTM for deformed bar or wire for concrete reinforcement.
Plates or other embeds can be anchored by DBA or stud, and the two behave differently in concrete.
