Abstract:
Just as there are tolerances in the fabrication of a bar, there are also tolerances in the placing of a bar in a concrete member. This article in the continuing series on constructibility issues points out that the space a designer expects to be available for items such as beam bars passing through columns or embeds in walls may not be what is actually available in the field.
