Code Provision
Code Provision
(OP)
Somehow I cannot find the code provision which requires that rebar in earth retention structure cannot touch the building foundation. There is some type of minimum spacing between tension rods and concrete footing. Help much appreciated.

As other said, if you are looking to connect a building foundation and an accessory retaining wall, you do have to account for the forces involved.
