Dowels @ SOG
Dowels @ SOG
(OP)
I was in a discussion with a friend earlier tonight and we disagreed over what is allowable with regard to dowels exposed in a section of SOG that will serve to connect to an additional port of SOG to be poured later - no set timeframe.
I say dowels are acceptble so long as they are not scaly with rust or lose cross sectional area. He says dowels must be installed via a HILTI epoxy.
This is a discussion about a residential outbuilding, and I have realized I am not very familiar with residential codes as he says they are very different than UBC codes.
Anyway, I am in Georgia, anyone want to shed any light?
Thanks,
Daniel

If you are tieing two slabs together for continuity, you may do it either way, it's just easier to set dowels while placing the concrete than to epoxy them later.
RE: Dowels @ SOG
I'd recommend drilling and placing the dowels at the time of the slab extension.
