Lorin :
Code says that all hardware is required to be placed prior to poor. When you wet set an anchor bolt or if you don’t tie the end of the SSTB off so it doesn’t move, every time is bumped or wiggled it brings the cream over to it. Pushing the rocks away, making it less effective. I’ve told him they’re gonna have to wet it, they have to rod around the anchor bolt to get the rocks back around the anchor bolt. Then I have to explain how to rod around the anchor bolt.

Both methods can be code-compliant. It comes down to jurisdiction, seismic zone, and execution. IRC R403.1.6 explicitly allows wet setting: "Anchor bolts shall be permitted to be located while concrete is still plastic and before it has set." But here's the catch. Wet setting puts 100% of the accuracy burden on the crew in a narrow window before cure. One distracted pour guy and your bolts are off. Pre-tying to a template locks position before the pour and gives inspectors a clean pre-pour inspection, which is why many AHJs and engineers in higher seismic zones prefer or require it. So it's not right vs. wrong, it's controlled vs. risky. Wet setting works when your crew is disciplined. Pre-tied is just more foolproof. Know your local AHJ requirements before you pour.

Wood foundations: that would be a good subject. And wood retaining walls.

That’s right, send them to the engineer. I always tell them that’s not that bad, I’m sure the engineer will approve it.

I miss the UBC because it required everything to be placed prior to the pouring concrete. The one and two family dwelling code required to be placed before pouring concrete. Boca and the southern building codes screwed up the code. And then you got Florida.🤦♂️
