Foundation Column Ties

[Bernied]

A commonly seen “standard detail” for a concrete column or pilaster supporting a steel column with embedded anchor bolts shows column ties closely spaced in the top 8” – 12” of the column – presumably to enclose the anchor bolts. I can’t find the code reference (ACI, IBC?)requiring this. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thank you Jike and JAE. I guess it's time to throw away my 1999 ACI-318!
