    Concrete Coverage Maximum

    Darth, We used EFCO forms but the QC guy thinks we are building a watch. I think you are only in trouble if this guy ends up on your jobsite.

    Concrete Coverage Maximum

    No value on drawings... General requirements just refer to ACI 318. That is the problem, on-site QC hard to get along with. We will comply this time but I will definitly have it ironed out before we start the next time. Thanks for all the help

    Concrete Coverage Maximum

    Thanks Daniel, I am the field engineer for a construction company. We have been told we must keep the spacing between 2"-3" rebar to formwork. We have had spots where there was 4". All are foundations 3' below grade. I just felt that 2"-3" was asking a lot.

    Concrete Coverage Maximum

    Is there code or standard practice that regulates maximum coverage between rebar and forms. I know ACI 318 specifies minimums but I do not see any maximums.
