Vertical Rebar and Dowels
Vertical Rebar and Dowels
(OP)
Can vertical rebar extend into the footing to serve also as dowels, thus, eliminating one step in the fabrication process? Why or why not?
Would this force too high of a load "into" the near bottom of the footing, as opposed to being distributed more onto the top of the footing?
Thank you!

RE: Vertical Rebar and Dowels
A correctly spliced bar carries the same load.
