What are the requirements for cutting rebar in the field? I know torching the rebar is not recommended, but it does happen. Can anyone point me to something code related that says one way or the other?
I'm doing a 1 story steel structure with CMU shear walls on 1 side of the building, and a steel braced frame on the other side of the building.
I'm trying to check the lateral load distribution between my shear walls and braced frame.
I've modeled the CMU shear walls with the "other"...
