@skef.for.engineer: Why you should NEVER weld short column rebar! 🛑🏗️ When column rebar turns out too short after slab casting, welding it might seem like a quick fix, but it poses a severe structural risk. Why Welding Rebar is Dangerous: ❌ Heat-Affected Zone: Intense heat weakens TMT steel surrounding the weld. ❌ Brittleness: Non-weldable rebar grades become brittle, creating a high risk of sudden failure under stress. Approved Solutions: ✅ Proper Lap Length: Expose concrete to achieve required lap length (e.g., 50D). ✅ Mechanical Couplers: Use approved rebar couplers to join extension bars safely. Never compromise structural safety with makeshift welding! 📐🛠️ #CivilEngineering #StructuralSafety #ConstructionMistakes #RebarCoupler #SiteEngineer #ColumnDesign #skegnessvacation
