Used to specify a depth that impacts bar placement and the concrete section considered in design.

a depth to be specified For example, if a wall is 10” thick with 1” of clear cover and there is a 0.75” reveal on the primary face, the cover to the bars closest to the primary face is measured from inside the reveal depth. If the vertical bars are closest to the face, the distance from the face of the 10” wall to edge of the vertical reinforcement edge is 1.75”. The reveal depth is applied to all section cuts in the wall panel. The concrete section considered in strength calculations excludes the reveal depths.
