Rebar Dowel Size and Spacing
Rebar Dowel Size and Spacing
(OP)
I had to cut out a 6' piece of a 6' wide sidewalk 4" thick for some underground piping. Now I need to submit a shop drawing of how I'll replace it. I'll have a contractor friend do the work when the time comes, but he's in the hospital right now. I just need to submit a drawing so the Engineer can have something to start with. The sidewalk is in a court yard, so there's no vehicular traffic on it. I was thinking of putting #4 X 12" rebar dowels every 12" to tie the new sidewalk to the old. That would be about 5 on each side, sticking out 6". Does that sound good enough? Any other suggestions?

Not sure why anyone would want a shop drawing for that.

csd72 makes a very good point - it will be difficult to drill into the edge of a 4" slab without weakening or cracking it.
I would submit a sketch without dowels first.
