Hi!

The following figure shows an example.

According to AWS D1.4, E80 should be used to weld both A706 Gr. 60 rebars.
Is E80 needed because of strength or metallurgical reason?
If E90 is used in this case, can I adjust/reduce the weld size shown in ACI318?
(I wonder how ACI decide this welding detail.)

What happens when A615 and A706 rebars are in the case of the mixed use?
Should I use E90 electrode with preheat?
