B. Secure reinforcing in position with wire ties complying with ACI 318.
1. Clip or bend tails of tie wire away from exposed faces, do not leave tie wire within 1 1/2" of any exposed
surface.
C. Maintain position of reinforcing mats in walls with metal spacers between the mats.
D. Tolerances
1. Top reinforcing in slabs and beams
a. Members 8 inches deep or less: + 1/4 inch
b. Members more then 8 inches but not over 2 feet deep: + 1/2 inch
c. Members more than 2 feet deep: + one inch
2. Lengthwise of members: + 2 inches
3. Concrete cover to formed surfaces: + 1/4 inch
4. Minimum spacing between reinforcing bars: 1/4 inch
E. Support reinforcing in slabs-on-grade and slabs-on-deck on bolsters or blocks. Do not lift reinforcing during
concrete placement.
3.03. COLD BENDING OF BARS IN THE FIELD
A. Dowels connecting concrete of different pour sequences may be bent in the field to facilitate form placement
and removal with the following conditions:
1. Maximum bar size is #4,
2. Maximum angle of bend is 90 degrees, and
3. Bars may be bent and straightened one time only.
3.04. FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Testing Laboratory Services
1. Inspect reinforcing sizes, quantities and placement.
2. Inspect support and securement of reinforcing.
