overcutting corners in an opening
overcutting corners in an opening
(OP)
I am a concrete cutting professional and I have been wondering about the strength of cut openings. Specifically, is there a structural / strength difference between a square cut corner and a overcut corner. Are there any codes that specify this?
I am asking because of the growing job requirements for square corners (with NO overcut).

RE: overcutting corners in an opening
In addition, the overcuts may damage reinforcing bars which extend just beyond the opening edge, further reducing the wall/slab strength.
