@matthiaswilliams24: #5 rebar each way, top and bottom. This is not decoration. This is structural steel doing real work. When you read the plans, you need to understand: Bar size: #5 Direction: each way Placement: top and bottom mat Spacing: must match the structural drawings Inspection: must be passed before concrete is poured Concrete is strong in compression. Steel gives it tensile strength. Miss this detail and your slab, deck, or structural element can fail the inspection — or worse, fail in real life.

supersteve95 :

What the hell are you building with that much rebar and thick concrete

Edward Valdovinos :

Two layers in an 8” slab crazy work

rvc :

sounds like a parking garage for heavy loads

B :

No thank you so much cause plans literally make no sense at all

STFU :

Only a PE decides how much rebars you put in… his stamp is on the plans.

YourFavoriteUncle :

That looks like only 2.5” of clearance from top of rebar to TOC no bueno needs 3”

lumevoid :

How did you determine the height of the Rebar, in the concrete, my assumptions, according to the Prints, is that number five is the. Rebar, size, and it's supposed to sit at 8 inches.

MTBeerz :

8” oc ew would make a square right?

Austin Hansen :

Tim V :

That does not look like 8” each way

Liz :

I am a program manager and these videos are so enlightening. I know enough to get by but usually have to have drawings explained to me.

Dais :

So the #5 rebar is gonna stick out at the top of slab?

Build It Mike :

That leaves you with 1 1/2” between top and bottom rebar. Assuming you hold 2” cover top and bottom. Usual they upsize the rebar and do each way centered. I normally don’t see EW, T&B until you get to 10” thick

syyhhjjtjrisixj :

i hate rebar drawings bro

Mr LUCKY :

SMURF :

Ajmalkanju3344 :

jacobsolorio254 :

I can’t fucking read that 🤣

Newton plumbing solutions :

Great

sailiegerald :

isn't it easier to use mm?

Garrett :

You need 3" coverage of concrete to rebar

EVanlandingham :

This the type of shit someone asks me to come core drill.
