Rebars protruding the construction joint.
Rebars protruding the construction joint.
(OP)
Hello all,
I need your advise. I have a situation that rebars for the mat are protruding the construction joint (at the base of the wall). There are wall dowels being fully developed per ACI, but the bar hooks from the mat is protruding through the construction joint by average 2".
What do you think about this?

Thank you for your response. The rebars are cut long to exceed the minimum development length. The shear friction load between the construction joint is taken by the dowels, but when the dowels yield, wouldn't the tips create a concentrating load to have potential concrete failures to the wall? This may occur during the extreme load case (i.e. seismic, blast load). What do you think?

I feel that there would be bigger issues if the wall ever saw loading that causes the dowels to yield that I would not be concerned about it.
