AWS D1.4/D1.4M:2018 – Structural Welding Code – Steel Reinforcing Bars
AWS D1.4/D1.4M:2018 – Structural Welding Code – Steel Reinforcing Bars provides welding requirements for deformed and plain reinforcing bars used in reinforced concrete construction. Applicable to structural projects such as buildings, bridges, and infrastructure systems, this code ensures weld quality, safety, and compliance in both field and shop conditions.
Highlights:
- Covers Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) as prequalified processes
- Design rules for welded joints, lap splices, and bar anchorage
- Base metal, filler metal, and electrode specifications
- Preheat/interpass temperature guidance based on carbon equivalent
- Weld profile and workmanship requirements
- Qualification criteria for welders, welding procedures, and inspectors
- Visual and radiographic inspection procedures
- Surface preparation and protection requirements for field/shop welding
- Includes normative and informative annexes for expanded guidance
- Commentary section explains code intent and technical decisions
Who It’s For:
Structural engineers, contractors, inspectors, and welders engaged in the welding of reinforcing steel in seismic, heavy civil, and structural applications.

Highlights:
- Design provisions for welded joints and structural connection details
- Specifications for base metals, filler materials, and qualified welding processes
- Prequalification criteria for procedures and joint configurations
- Qualification standards for welding procedures, welders, and operators
- Visual and nondestructive inspection methods
- Stud welding practices and performance qualification requirements
- Fabrication standards for cleaning, joint prep, and weld profile control
- Weld acceptance criteria and repair guidelines
- Normative and informative annexes on weld sizing, filler metal selection, sample forms, and macroetchants
- Commentary section offering interpretation and application guidance
Who It’s For:
Essential for fabricators, engineers, inspectors, and contractors involved in stainless steel construction for structural applications such as architectural systems, industrial frameworks, and corrosion-resistant environments.
