rebar development/lap length
rebar development/lap length
(OP)
I have a 5' high, 8" thick, cast-in-place cantilever retaining wall. The contractor installed the footing dowels with the vertical leg of the bar 3" too short to have a proper "Class B" tension lap with the vertical bars of the wall.
Is there a procedure to calculate a reduced capacity of the wall based on this improper lap length?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
