About this detail

Scheduled or detailed vertical and horizontal wall reinforcement terminates within two inches of the opening on all sides. Two number five by five-foot diagonal bars are placed at each corner of the opening, with one bar on each face. Additional reinforcement includes one-half of the interrupted wall reinforcement plus one additional bar of the same size on each side, spaced evenly between continuous wall reinforcement. Number four by two-foot additional bars lap splice with wall horizontal and vertical bars along the edges of the opening typically. Notes dictate minimum additional reinforcement requirements for basement wall openings and specify spacing rules for adjacent openings.
