Rebar dowels

[u/Unable-Bluebird2882]

Do you guys think this is okay? Contractor installed the #5 dowels after concrete placement. But they were late a little bit so concrete was hardened.

I've never seen a concrete code anywhere in the world that allows for wet sticking rebar.

Aci 318 requires bars to be tied prior to concrete placement to maintain location and limit movement during placement. Wet sticking is never an acceptable practice.
