    This document outlines testing requirements for various types of reinforcement materials and connections used in a road widening project from PIE to Braddell Road Interchange. It specifies test standards and requirements for hot rolled bars, cold worked bars, steel wire, steel fabric, and cut and bent reinforcement. It also provides details on testing procedures for mechanical couplers used to connect reinforcement bars, including permanent elongation, static tensile, stress-strain, and failure mode tests. Welding of reinforcement is permitted only if safeguards and techniques meeting the engineer's acceptance are employed, and the contractor must provide welding procedure specifications and test samples for approval.
