I am currently working in the construction of high rise tower in the Gulf.
We cast the walls first then after, we cast the slabs/beams.
Now in one of the levels we found that the couplers in the wall are of a diameter less than the required for the slab, so we will use a transition bridge couplers to splice the actual slab reinforcement (T25) with the pre-installed hooks in the wall (T20). The Ldh oh the hook in the wall is bigger than required for T20.
So is this safe ?
Does any Committee/clause of the ACI covers this case ?
Please share with me your knowledge.
