Q&A: Tying Into Concrete Block Tying Into Block. Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. A. Dowel the new footing to the original building with at least two #4 rebars. You’ll need to dig to the bottom of the existing footing, drill it horizontally, and grout in rebars that extend about a foot into the new footing. The new footing should be at the same depth as the existing footing and on undisturbed soil. At the wall connection, vertically fasten a 3x3x1/4-inch angle to the original wall with expansion anchors (see illustration below). Provide a bond breaker on each leg of the angle, and break out the end webs of the new blocks.

How to Build Staircase Balusters and Newel Posts Position the Post. Cut a square hole in the top radius shaped plywood to fit a short 4-inch by 3-inch post. Check the position of the existing newel post and make sure they match. Insert the post into the new base and plumb the post, making its position on the bottom radius shaped plywood.o fit the bottom tread on the newel post base, position the newly cut tread in place. Cut the tread so it fits halfway around the 4x4 post on the new newel post base. It doesn't have to be perfect, since the finished newel post will slide over the top of the 4x4 and cover where the 4x4 and the tread meet.

tying new footing to existing You probably would not need to tie into the existing steel and not totally necessary to tie the dowels to the new steel but probably helpful. It doesn't matter whether you use threaded rod or rebar. I would use either 1/2 or 5/8 threaded rod or #5 rebar. YOu just need to key the two footings together. (one exception to this may be if the new wall is loaded disproportionatley to the existing). An engineer would probably spec that the dowels would be epoxied into the existing footing and lapped onto the new steel.
