How many inches from the rebar point of vibration contact do you think the vibration would affect? What's the theoretical distance it can cause microscopic separation of concrete from rebar, based on your experience?
I'm inquiring whether the bond between bar and concrete in the region of the vibrations can get looser or detached microscopically. You seemed to be stating it won't. But why won't it?
why can't the concrete transmit the vibration? But if the jackhammer touched a bar, wouldn't it transmit the vibration to the length of the bar inside?
Hello. We would like to put stiffer column below a beam and plans to use jackhammer or chipping hammer to chip the middle of the beam. My concern is whether vibrations from a chipper hammer can make the existing bars and concrete slip or disturb their bonding. Is this cause for concern from...
