A question has come up regarding the horizontal wall rienforcement in underground precast tanks. If the bars are bent 90 degrees at the corner, does this constitute a hook subject to the requirements of Art. 12.5 of ACI 318? I don't believe it does but I cannot find a definative reference that states otherwise.
