What’s wrong with this standee placement? And no, I’m not talking about the lack of gloves on his hands! 👀 Drop your answers in the comments, and let’s see who catches it first! #RebarDetailing #StandeePlacement #ThinkOutsideTheBox #VisualStorytelling # #MovieBuffs #FunnyMarketing #AttentionToDetail #RebarHumor
NO bare steel should be in contact with the formwork. We learnt years ago “concrete cover is King” (it cannot be overruled by anything) if you don’t have adequate concrete cover, you cannot pour concrete. It creates a wick(ingress) or Trojan horse to allow moisture and rust to travel through the bare steel and expand during the rust process to explode the concrete and allow structural steel to be exposed to advanced rusting eventually failure of the structural bar then the failure of the slab. First rule learnt in concrete construction. To ignore this rule, the remainder of the construction is a waste of time.
After pouring reinforcement chair bar 1 and 4 th leg visible for out side
That compromises the effective concrete cover!
Putting the chair direct on the sofit.
Placing the chair on the form work when stripped will be able to see it in the concrete
I thought that he was a one legged man with his boot on the wrong foot! Bridgwater & Taunton College #csic #steelfixers #formworkers
The standee and the pipe will be displaced during concrete pouring.
The chair may be exposed to the open environment, which can lead to rust formation. This rust could potentially spread to other rebars within the structural element.
Nothing wrong about that hes fixing chairs for Post Tension Tendons.. normal practice These chairs are used to support the post-tensioning tendons or ducts at the correct height and alignment within the slab.

2moThere is no concrete cover So add a rubber/non rust base
