I see the drawing for the foundation pad for the Rohn BX self-
supporting tower series says "reinforcing is recommended for
temperature and shrinkage control."
The diagram shows two separate grids of rebar laid horizontally in
the concrete foundation pad -- one about 3 inches above the bottom of
the pad and the other about 3 inches below the top of the pad. It
says they are made of "No. 3 bars 12 inches on center each way top
and bottom or a welded wire fabric of equivalent steel area."
What experiences have you had with the easiest way to meet this
requirement?
