Composite deck reentrant corner bars
Composite deck reentrant corner bars
(OP)
For slabs on grade we always show reentrant corner bars where needed on the plan to control cracking (non-strucutural cracking). For elevated concrete floors on forms I have shown reentrant corner bars also.
On composite steel deck and concrete floors, I have never indicated additional bars for reentrant corners where elevators, ductwork, stairs, etc. penetrate the slab. We just have a detail with an edge angle (or pour stop) at the perimeter of the penetration with the typical welded wire reinforcing throughout the floor.
I got a question on why I did not show this recently on a project and I have never had a problem with cracking complaints on composite deck floor penetrations. I also have never shown control joints on these floors either. Does anyone else show these reentrant bars on steel form deck floor penetrations to control non-structural cracking at top of slab?
