Im 1961, the American Welding Society published its first reinforcing steel weiging siandard, AWS 1D12.1-61. Recommended Practices for Welding Reinforcing Steel, Metal Inserts and Connections in Rein forced Concrete Construction, The D12 Committee was disbanded some time alter publication of the 1961 code and before publication of the 1975 edition, ‘The 1961 document was replaced with a greatly revised version. AWS DI2.1-75. Reinforcing Steel Mild. ing Code. with the format patterned after the AWS DI-1-72. Structural Welding Code. The 1975 code was produced by the AWS Structural Welding Commitiee ut was not renumbered to reflect this commitice change. As with ANSU/AWS D1.t, AWS D12.1-75 was designed as a self-contained code, including within it the qualification of welders and procedures. and requirements for workmanship. quality. and inspection. The listings of materials and welding processes ware revised in the DI?.1-75 code. Items newly intco duced were the earbon equivalent method for determining preheat. the parenthetical inclusion of mettic (SB) conversions, and the two different methods of joint strength determination. ‘The AWS DI2.1-75 document was revised and the title changed to ANSI/AWS D149. Structural etd ing Code — Reinforcing Steel. Since the 1979 edition of ANSUAWS D1.4-79. Structural Welding Code — Reinforcing Steel, was issued, further use by designers, engineers, and fabricators has necessitated a number ‘changes to the requirements, This edition, ANSV/AWS D1.4.92, addresses these changes.
