Rebar Weld PDF

This document provides design guidance for sizing fillet welds to develop the full strength of a butt-welded bar. It includes a formula for calculating the required weld size based on the bar diameter and grade. Tables are given showing the minimum weld size, plate thickness, and electrode type required for various bar sizes and grades (40 and 60). For each bar size, the tables specify the minimum fillet weld size needed, minimum plate thickness to develop the bar strength, and recommended electrode type.

a. Refer to AWS D1.1 Table 3.1 Prequalified Base Metal Filler Material Combinations for Matching Strength and AWS D1.4 Table 5.1 Matching Filler Metal
Requirements. Use E80 Electrodes for ASTM A706 rebar; use E90 electrodes for ASTM A615 rebar.
b. A minimum of 3/16 in. weld size is suggested.
c. Theoretical thickness for shear stress on base metal = 0.9(0.6)(36) ksi. A more practical thickness might be taken as 1/2 db as used with headed studs. A mini-
mum of 1/4 in. plate thickness is suggested.
d. E70 electrodes are not permitted for grade 60 reinforcement.
