This concrete beam and girder construction joint detail specifies placement requirements for multi-pour elements. The construction joint must be located within the middle one-third of the span. All reinforcing steel continues uninterrupted across the joint interface, with added ties spaced progressively at three-inch increments near the junction. Reinforcement schedules dictate number six bars each way depending on the overall member width, ranging from one bar for members up to seven inches wide up to six bars for widths exceeding forty inches.
