29 <br /> placement will depend on local code and specific engineering requirements for the structure. At <br /> times it is permissible for the horizontal rebar to lay in the bottom of the horizontal channel <br /> without being suspended by tying. However, check with local codes or an engineer is advised <br /> when in doubt. In certain jurisdictions it may be required to tie the horizontal rebar to the <br /> vertical rebar. The vertical rebar typically needs to be placed in the center third of the vertical <br /> columns. Engineering will dictate the size bar and the centerline placement to the anchoring <br /> systems at floors,roofs and footings. Anchoring systems at floors, roofs and footings must be <br /> located at vertical or horizontal channels and should not fall at a web. <br /> TIP: cut 1"high slices of 1.5" PVC piping. Put these slices over the rebar stubs so they rest on <br /> the footing. After stacking the wall to a height of 6-8' insert the vertical rebar from the top of the <br /> stacked wall and insert the end of the rebar in the PVC pipe ring at the footing. This keeps the <br /> rebar centered in the core of the wallform. <br /> NOTE: It may be necessary to tie the minimum 12" overlapping rebars to assure a flexible, <br /> monolithic post and beam structure in certain earthquake and hurricane resistance <br /> situations. This determination shall be made by the engineer of record. <br /> 5.2.5 Electrical, Plumbing, Vents <br /> Proper planning for electrical, plumbing, and any penetrations is required since they will be set <br /> up prior to the concrete infill. <br /> Gray colored PVC piping may be used as a chase through the walls. For small vent ducting use a <br /> hole saw through the wallform walls. Install stub prior to concrete infill. <br /> Carefully plan and coordinate the placement of wiring conduit within the Wallforms as they are <br /> stacked. <br /> There are two methods for electrical wiring in the Wall forms. One is to install plastic conduit in <br /> the cores of the wallforms prior to concrete infill. The other method is to groove out the inside <br /> surface of the wallforms to embed wiring into the groove. <br /> ShelterWorks General Application and Technical Information (GATT)version 2.5 <br />
