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.
