Nowadays, using efficient and effective methods and minimizing the costs in construction operations are of vital importance. All researchers in engineering fields have been trying to introduce some approaches addressing more efficient pathways. In addition, structural engineers have mostly involved with processes by which the respective goals are achievable shortly and efficiently. Using welding forging is widely considered as one the most promising approaches to mitigate the costs of structures. The most distinctive feature of welding forging is that compared to other mentioned methods it diminishes significantly the different wastes arisen from reinforcement occurred during construction, leading to minimizing the costs imposed by reinforcement operations. In this work, some features of this welding method were investigated. In addition, we addressed that whether this method is capable to enhance the standard resistance against earthquake or not
