I have a project where the contractor chipped out the concrete around the rebar of a lintel (door way for a bathroom). They realized it wasn't in the right spot and repoured the lintel on top of the existing rebar. The architect wants an engineer to review what happened and provide assistance on if the situation is structurally adequate. I have no issue with it except that the rebar was exposed and could potentially induce corrosion down the road. They've also added a 2-L4X4X3/8 to strengthen the opening which is fine.
I'm just looking to see if anyone has any experience with this exposing of the rebar and repouring after.
