Verifying the ductility of the welded connection.
The standard governs several critical areas of construction: Materials & Design en iso 17660-1 pdf
Load-bearing joints between reinforcing bars (e.g., butt, lap, and cross joints). Verifying the ductility of the welded connection
Bars intersecting at angles, often used in cages. en iso 17660-1 pdf
(as shown in Figure 3b of the standard), which allows them to reduce the groove angle to 45°, saving on weld metal while ensuring full load-bearing capacity. Verify Personnel
