concrete reentrant corner reinforcement
concrete reentrant corner reinforcement
(OP)
Since my earliest days I was aware that "The Code" fobade the wrapping of rebar around a concrete reentrant corner.
I was actually challenged by some plans inspector saying that I wasn't allowed to use my detail for reinforcement. I had to use his. His detail showed wrapping of rebar around in a manner I was told was incorrect.
I was unable to find the code reference to rebut him.
Does anyone know what the code reference is? I'm pretty sure it is not in the UBC. I was told it was in ACI, but I can't find the specific reference.

If it is simply bent around the re-entrant corner, what is going to happen when it tries to take stress? The bar will try to straighten out and the corner will pop off.

The specific Code Reference is then, ACI 12.5.1, the requirement for development of standard hooks.
