wall reinforcing corner bars
wall reinforcing corner bars
(OP)
I am reviewing some drawings for compliance and I have the following situation:
2 walls intersect at a 90 degree angle to form an "L" shape. The horizontal bars from one wall are #6 and the other wall are #7. I can figure the length the corner bars should be by using the tension splice length (given in plans) for each respective side (whether #6 or #7) but I don't know if the corner bar itslef should be a #6 or a #7.

Anyhow, I'd use the #7 corner bar unless told otherwise or if I were designing it.
