IBC Section 1907.5 "Placing Reinforcement"
IBC Section 1907.5 "Placing Reinforcement"
(OP)
Does Section 1907.5 of the 2006 IBC Code prohibit the wet-stabbing of Stemwall verts into concrete strip footings. A local building official thinks that it does. Personally I think the section is intended to address only primary reinforcement but I may be wrong.
Does anyone have any information?
Thanks

The building official was basically asking me if I knew of an "out" for him.
As you can imagine, he is not at all excited about the long, nasty job ahead in dealing with local contractors who have always followed the less costly practice of stabbing verts.
Thanks to all

It seems to be standard practice in the residential sector, but not the commercial one.
I always advise against it.
