Abstract

Usually restricted on site by codes of practice, bending and rebending of reinforcements is sometimes necessary, such as planned situations, where cast vertical members and slabs are joined to vertical faces, or to create a temporary opening in a slab, or to correct errors. This document offers guidance for both planned situations (using continuity systems, couplers) and dealing with errors (cold and hot bending/rebending, cutting and welding). Details requirements in standards.
