Bar Spacing
Bar Spacing
(OP)
We have a concrete slab with the bars extended upwards into a wall. These act as dowels to provide continuity with the wall vertical reinforcing.
The slab bars are at a different spacing than the wall steel. What is the maximum distance the slab dowels should be separated from the wall vertical reinforcing.

But if it is the case, the dowel required to resist sliding of shearwall at construction joint need to go through the slab and develop on both side (two construction joint) !
I usually use short straight bar for dowel reinforcement and the rebar of the slab finish with a hook.
