Another great video showing some very skilled people but yes you are assured critics! Code varies by state,county, city etc and is often driven by location and climate. Having researched a bunch of different codes, rebar is commonly 3” clearance from the bottom and 2” from the side/forms. Often times the overlap length at the splice is dictated as well including having to bend the corners not allowing a joint or overlap closer than 1’ to the corner. Just some of the more common rules and in my neck of the woods. Good heads up on the brick type as well. Nobody likes a failed inspection and redo.

For those who may be wondering why the rebar has to be completely encased in the concrete, one of the reasons is to protect the rebar from water (especially water with salt, or perchlorate solution) intrusion that would cause it to rust. And, when the rebar rusts, it stops providing that tensile strength the pad needs. Granted, the pad will eventually crack, and those cracks will be infiltration points, but the longer water is kept at bay means the longer the lifespan of the pad. Grady from Practical Engineering has an excellent video on the topic. (Complete with him making samples and putting them in a hydraulic pressed.) The video can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2pYmt-bq96ftU
@manager47683 жыл бұрын

Does the rusted mesh work as well as the clean ones. Wondering whether the rusted surface will have less adhesiveness.
@jackielinde75682 жыл бұрын
@@thestraightwire8393 The problem with the rust on the rebar is that as the rebar rusts, it expands. This puts outwards pressure on the encasing cement structure, causing that structure to fail. Also, as more of the rebar turns to rust, there's less rebar doing the job it was intended. There were sections of Champlain Towers South where the concrete superstructure cracked, allowing water to get inside and rust the steel framework, causing both the concrete and steel to fail. Now, this isn't "The Reasons Why That Tower Fell", but the byproducts of design changes during planning, design changes during construction, changes to parts of the structure (in regards to one of it's neighbors being built later) and the type and quality of maintenance that was supposed to address these cracks. Yes, the cracks and water intrusion is what killed the building, but everything else I mentioned created the situation that caused those cracks in the first place. Got to make sure that rebar stays rust free as long as possible.

Twistys are for small builders and DIY people.As are the guns.For one they only tie slash ties which is about 1/2 the ties needed on re-bar. In the UK and the EU theyre tied with reels or loose wire reels the only difference is in UK we use short nips and in the EU they use longer nips.Your lads are using pliers which Ive seen in the US on sites but I converted some to nips(channellock are best) because of the speed,about the same but the ties are a lot tighter with nips,those ties wouldnt hold 16mm horizontal bars but here they dont need to.Yet again the best instruction on how it should be done Ive seen on the net,didnt get to see the corners,the bars loads get wrong.
