About this detail

These structural foundation details illustrate concrete wall conditions at door or window openings and at a glazing pour-over transition. The assembly consists of a continuous concrete footing supporting a concrete wall with top and bottom continuous reinforcing and vertical wall reinforcement spaced at twenty-four inches or eighteen inches on center. A concrete slab on grade or exterior slab bears against the wall with a nine-inch thickness typical and a one-to-three sloped thickened edge. At the opening detail, number four continuous reinforcing bars extend four feet minimum past each end beyond the opening, supplemented by number four bars at four feet long spaced at eighteen inches on center, set over a one-quarter-inch roughened construction joint with vertical dowels matching the wall reinforcing above. At the glazing pour-over detail, the wall transitions to a masonry wall where it occurs, with solid grout in all cells below grade, top and bottom continuous reinforcing, alternate hook directions, and an adjacent glazing assembly coordinated with architectural drawings.
