About this detail

Standard reinforcing layout around wall openings in concrete construction. Trim bars are provided on each face of openings with sizing dependent on wall thickness, utilizing one number six bar for six-inch walls and two number six bars for eight to twelve-inch walls. Dowels match the size of trim bars and include standard hooks where full bar lap splice length is not possible beyond the edge of the opening. Four number six by six-foot additional diagonal bars are placed at each face around openings, and standard wall reinforcement is detailed with specific spacing and tie requirements where distances between openings are less than two feet.
