So we'll have a large array of rebar, and a provided connection to same.
But I've always wondered.
In both cases my thinking is "the only good over time connection is a soldered/{cad}welded one..." perhaps because I grew up in the salt belt & saw too many rotted ones... especially bimetallic ones.
But I've never seen a discussion of same.

- How is the connection you get tied to the rebar in the pour?
- Seldom is the rebar welded together; usually it's just tied. (One exception I know about is a wall for a classified [not NEC, but USG Top Secret/SCIF etc] vault location. There it's 6" spacing, ISTM.)
