the falling on rebar tip reminded me of the guy who used one for a garden stack and fell on it. Impaled under ribs, out neck. Luckiest man alive, it didn't puncture anything. Docs slid it out, the hole clean and then just stitched it shut and sent him home with antibiotics.

It happens relatively infrequently from a world perspective, but happens every week from an ER-everything that goes bad comes to me-perspective. I get it, when it happens to you you'll wish it didn't; a universally applicable construct. So I'll determine my risk tolerance thanks. More so, if you don't like dealing with the aftermath when 'shit happens*', get a different job. Don't expect me not to live my life as I see fit, because the job you chose is gory. Not fair. * what causes shit happening is for another post; very complex.

The rebar that was welded and pounded into the dirt will eventually rust and since it’s connected to the footing rebar it will follow it all the way through. A plastic chair or concrete doby will give you the separating from the soil.

Good point about the long rebar. I'm building an extension to a house starting next month, the long wall concrete foundation is nearly 44' long and only 10" thick and no rebar specified by the architect who said it wasn't needed by building regs (code). I think for the cost and my peace of mind, it'll be getting a dose of steel in there!

You can cut the rebar with a large bolt cutter, I used to lay out precast panels sprayed and stacked with picking eyes. Cut all the rebar from 21 ft stock. Tied up mats on 1 foot centers. They were floor panels on the Sheraton hotel in anchorage AK. I forgot how many stories but it’s plenty. Didn’t use any power.

Great instructional movie. Great job! One thing though. Is it OK to put the rebar down into the soil? Isn't there a risk that the rust "travels" with the rebar into the slab (which then could crack, since the rust will expand).

@PerkinsBuilderBrothers 3 жыл бұрын

There is always risk of rust if there is moisture present… I’m not really sure that the moisture level in the soil just below the concrete footings is any different than the actual concrete footings in this case. Concrete is quite capable of absorbing moisture so I would imagine they are at a similar moisture level. Also these rebar are only at about every 5 to 7 feet throughout the foot in vertically so it’s not a large volume of steel compared to the volume of concrete it would have to disturb actually cause a problem.

@deanclark2703 3 жыл бұрын

Short answer yes it is a bad idea to drive the rebar into the soil because of rust. That's why on most plans and in codes it requires rebar be a minimum of 2" from the edge of your concrete.
