Its an 8" wall 20' height. Yes the roofing is there at this point.
It is being proposed to have the face cut where the cells to receive bars all along from top to bottom to install rebar
Contractor missed to place reinforcement ( clearly shown on the design drawings ) to a load bearing CMU wall. Dowels were provided at the bottom with #5 @ 32" O.C.
What options available to fix this ? And what is the typical structural repair/rectification in this case ?
Thanks all for sharing your thoughts on this. I was thinking may be the ties which tie the mesh to the frame need to be shown to resist the required loading conditions ? As for the mesh, I will probably ask for documentation or proof of acceptable performance whatever that means. Either way...
Is chainlink fence suitable to be used as a guardrail for retaining walls ? IBC chapter 16 requires guards to be design for 200 lb concentrated load and 50 lb/ft applied on any direction on the rail. But how do you make sure the infill mesh is adequate ?
Thanks Mr. Dick!
I believe they were asking me what kind of decision/steps I would take to fix the problem. I assume the concrete strength was already measured and compared and found to be less in strength in that pier. I think it's more like a personality question.
What would you do Mr. Dick...
I was asked this question in one interview:
What would you do if you find out that the Concrete compressive strength of one pier of a bridge was less than that one in he specifications. Assuming the pier was already poured.
I did not know exactly what is the right answer for this question
