Anyone using welded rebar mats (not to be confused with wire mesh)? Just hearing about these for the first time and would enjoy learning more and hearing opinions.
Thanks in advance!

Seppe said:If you look at the ASTM spec you see that the welding is actually deferred to AWS D1.4. Yet, when you dig into AWS there's zero reference to the "crossing bar" joint itself. So how this joint gets welded is largely a grey area, and appears to fall in the lap of the EOR.
AWS D1.4 (2018) said:6.2.3 Cross Welding Bars. Welding of bars that cross shall not be permitted unless authorized by the Engineer.
