I have retired but would like to offer advice on something I've always seen done wrong. This mostly happens in residential footings.....
Rebar in footings...
Rebar is in concrete mostly to rake the tension Ioads. If the rebar is vertically in the middle it never gets used (never goes into tension).
Builders who know this will use chairs (rebar place holders) that set it up 3-4" above the bottom of the footing. This is better than centered vertically but if the bottom of a footing goes into tension a few feet away the top is probably in tension.
Home owners, request and pay for rebar top and bottom, stirrups at stepdowns.

After 30 years in the hattiesburg area there are only a few large projects that i have been involved with but there is not a commercial block that does not hold a memory. There have been countless residential projects and katrina.
In the event that this post reaches the right eyes, towns need professionals who will take the small work and charge accordingly.
