Questions You Should Know about astm a615 rebar

ASTM A615 rebar is most commonly used in low-stress and less demanding applications and makes an economical choice in situations where a tremendous level of tensile strength is not necessarily needed. Its strength and performance characteristics are grade-dependent, and the A615 rebar is available in a full range of standard sizes, including No. 3 through No. 11, No. 14, and No. 18.

Though A615 rebar by definition is comprised simply of deformed, plain carbon steel, it can be enhanced with epoxy coatings or other strength and durability-enhancing treatments if project requirements demand it.

At Harris Supply Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering customers the ability to customize their rebar products, including epoxy coated rebar, fabricated rebar, black rebar, and coiled/spooled rebar, to precision specifications so if you need A615 rebar with augmented performance specifications, we are happy to fill your order.

A615 rebar increases the tensile strength of concrete and can be used for both primary and secondary reinforcement. It helps absorb stress and weight and facilitates the more even distribution of the tension caused by the expansion and contraction of concrete when it is exposed to heat and cold, respectively.

If you have any questions about the suitability of A615 rebar for your intended application, or if you would like to submit a custom order, obtain a price quote, or discuss your specific needs, please contact a member of our customer service team.

When welding rebar to structural steel, the provisions of both AWS D1.1 and D1.4 have to be satisfied.[Ref: D1.4 1.2.1]

Make sure welders are qualified per D1.1 and D1.4 for the positions, processes, etc

Check D1.1 Table 3.1 and D1.4 Table 5.1 for filler metal selection. Make sure you read also D1.1 Table 2.3 and Sec 3.3 and D1.4 Table 2.1 and Sec 5.1.2

For preheat, D1.1 Table 3.2 and D1.4 Table 5.2, the higher value will govern. For the rebar try and switch to low alloy A706 steel as it has better weldability properties. If you stick with A615 you'll need the CE and if it is not available you'll have to use a preheat of no less than 500 degrees F, which is certainly higher than all the preheat values in D1.1 table 3.2

Two questions for you.

What type of steel are the HP piles to be fabricated from?

Do you already have a WPS submital backed up with a POR from the fabricator/contractor?



As I understand it, normal rebar has a fairly high carbon content and isn't really intended for welding. There IS low-alloy rebar that is better suited for welding, check into it. ASTM A706, maybe? Not sure about the number.

I'm not that familiar with them, but they do make mechanical splicing devices- I wonder if they make something you can weld to the piling then clamp the bars in it? Or alternatively, use the more-weldable rebar, stub it up and splice to the 615 rebar.
