Abstract:
Although the Code requires the engineer to design for adequate concrete placement, it offers very little guidance for congested reinforcement. This article provides information on design and detailing prerequisites, reinforcement congestion economics, allowance recommendations related to congestion of reinforcement, and proposed Code and Commentary language with respect to constructability.
