Good Morning Everyone,

 

I have a series of questions that are addressed by the code but are
practiced and enforced widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  Please
reply with your code references and/or comments.

 

1. Can rebar or other metallic materials be used as depth gauges and /
or conduit support in footings?  Meaning, the rebar or conduit is driven
into the earth and will also be encased in the footing (burning the
form)...

 

2. Can vertical steel reinforcement be "wet-set" into footings, or
should the rebar be "tied-in" to the footing steel?

 

3. Can non-treated wood products be in contact with masonry or concrete
without other forms of decay protection such as felt paper?  This
includes locations above 6" of grade.

 

Thanks in advance for your opinions...
