Repair for core through rebar
Repair for core through rebar
(OP)
A contractor has cored through bar in a concrete beam. I've come up with an idea that works, but I'm wondering if there's something obvious that I'm missing that might make it easier. My plan is to chip out concrete, and use mechanical couplers and a small section of new bar to splice the bars together. Then patch when it's all said and done. My sketch is attached.

Look at the maximum moment the beam sees at the point of the cut and design for that moment. See if the remaining bars can handle it.
