torsional 45 degree crack <strong>for</strong>mation. This cracking behavior shows that the torsional load is<br />

being transferred from the steel to the concrete deeper in the foundation. This will be beneficial<br />

because the frequent construction mistake of placing the rebar cage too deep in the foundation<br />

often leaves the surface of the concrete under rein<strong>for</strong>ced. If the load will be transferred into the<br />

concrete deeper in the foundation, the problem of the under rein<strong>for</strong>ced surface concrete will be<br />

partially negated.<br />
