This TechNote provides an answer to the question, "When corroded reinforcing steel is encountered in a repair, should the bar be undercut? How far should the bar be exposed along its length?" TechNotes are a committee document that are narrowly focused, single-topic guides, usually practice oriented, that present a specific direction on a particular issue. ACI committee documents (including TechNotes) are reviewed and approved by ACI's Technical Activities Committee.
