I see several generic details for welding a rebar to the shear dowels sticking out of the top of a prestressed concrete girder. Are the dowels A706 or will this require chemical analysis for the weld design?
I assume the weld is a flare since there are 2 curved surfaces.
Anyone have any insight to share? The 2 details below are from the Texas DOT. The lower detail is the welding one (option 2). Based on the shear note, I assume the weld needs to be good for at least 6 kips.
