Condition: wall vertical/horizontal rebar is interrupted due to a round penetration.
Does ACI-318 have an absolute requirement for the placement of 1/2 the interrupted vertical/horizontal rebar on either side of a wall penetration?
This condition does not appear to be covered with a detail or a general note in the provided drawings. Can I assume the EOR has taken this penetration into account and designed the wall so that it does need additional rebar around the opening?
Thanks,
The Inspector
