I've got #8 bars for a retaining wall, but, the dowels used 48' lap splice I called for on the plans are only sticking out of the footing 38' to 40'. I can mechanically lap them at $50 a piece, or, I can weld per the above AWS specification. I don't have this code, but, I'm willing to bet it's a full pentration weld that's required. Anybody know? There is 100+ bars that need to be spliced. (Can you say CHA-CHING?)
Not that it's funny, but I went there on Friday prior to the pour, talked with the guy doing the footing, and showed him the plans and told him it was imperative for the 48' length to be from the top of footing to the end of the dowel.
