Preface

There has always been pressure to make concrete building faster and less expensive. However, the prefabrication of reinforcement bars for concrete has only lately been used in the United States, despite being a typical method to increase productivity. The American Welding Society released their first welding standard for reinforcing steel in 1961. Over time, it has been revised.
