Rebar Placement
Rebar Placement
(OP)
I am currently prepping for a base slab that is 2' 9" thick and the drawing calls for #11 on 9" centers, my question is being that the bars have 90 deg bends for tails on the ends of the #11 for all sides of the slab how do you get the first bar that runs perpendicular to be within the tolerances of 117 for the design location of the first bar (as well as the clear distance to the form work)?

Also, hooks are not required to be uniformly-oriented or precisely vertical, and research shows that this is not required to maintain development or flexural integrity. This permits rotation of the hooks to suit placement considerations.
