Abstract:
Figure 1 shows reinforcing bars bent to support the top mat of bars in a thick foundation. I understand that the bar fabricator generally supplies these, but is it feasible to fabricate them on site? If so, are there any instructions or diagrams that can help ironworkers produce them? I assume that because they only support bars, there are no requirements for minimum bend diameter, so the main concern would be fabricating them carefully enough to meet the placing tolerances for the bars that they support. Any information you can give me would be appreciated.
