Structural
I have a concrete corbel that supports a slab. The contractor wants to simplify the formwork by just making it a straight wall down instead of forming the actual corbel shape (essentially providing a thicker wall). Do you think I'd need to change the reinforcement pattern, or will the added concrete section just act as more cover? Note: I am under the guidance of a senior engineer, just wanted to see what other people thought as well.
