Abstract:
Presents the results of an investigation into the pre-pour placement precision of reinforcement in office building rectangular slabs. A detailed analysis of site measurements is made to test the compliance of site placement with code requirements in America and Australia. Variations in placement of top and bottom bars, workmanship, and builder performance are noted and demonstrate the greater practicality of the . American code requirements.
