In other words, do it right, weld it all together and there is no

OH NO! don't say that! but i guess its too late, the weld vs tie
argument
is probably already off and running.
If you search through the archives, you will find the references from
reputable sources (i.e. manufacturers and engineers that do it for a
living
as opposed to Joe from Peach Pit GA) that say the weld prevents (relative)
high resistance hot spots from occurring.
and if you search through other archives you will find that only in special
cases, and with very specific requirements, is welding of rebar done. the
standard method is wire ties and is quite adequate for tower bases.
