Rebar at Wall Footing
Rebar at Wall Footing
(OP)
We have a condition on the site where in lieu of two masonry dowels into the footing, the contractor has only one going into the footing. The wall has only rebar at each face. The rebar at each face is required for the out of plane loads. Is this acceptable ?

Are you or your firm the Engineer of Record for the project? Only that person can answer this question.

The contractor assumed the dowels to be single since the main rebar at the wall is centered. The wall has each face reinforcing at a 4'-0" jambs across the building. The wall has been built 4'-0" tall already but has not been grouted.

BA, yes, sometimes. Basement walls are frequently reinforced first outside, then inside, then outside again. Sometimes, the bars are detailed the same on both faces to avoid mistakes.
