A proper detailing of reinforcement in concrete structures is very important with regards to structural behavior, safety and good performance. However, rules in codes for detailing and minimum reinforcement ratios are not always easy to understand and interpret, since there is very limited or no background information explaining the function and providing motivations. The aim of this presentation is to discuss current trends in rebar detailing and what should be expected from rebar detailers regarding shop drawings quality, presentation and content.
