ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting reinforcement bar comprises a support assembly including a first support and a second support. The first support has a ground-engaging portion. The second support is coupled to the first support so that the ground-engaging portion provides subjacent support for the second support. The second support is structured and dimensioned to support a reinforcement bar in a substantially upright position. A support member is coupled to the support assembly. The support member is provided for vertically supporting another reinforcement bar. A method for supporting reinforcement bar comprises the steps of providing a ditch having a bottom surface and apparatus for supporting reinforcement bar. The method next comprises the step of positioning apparatus for supporting reinforcement bar in the ditch with an end of apparatus protruding from the ditch and a ground-penetrating portion driven in the bottom surface of the ditch. The method further comprises the step of coupling substantially horizontal reinforcement bars to support members of the apparatus. Upon completion of the foregoing steps, the method comprises the steps and of filling the ditch with suitable pour material so that the end of the apparatus protruding from the ditch remains exposed and allowing the concrete to harden. Once the concrete has hardened, a wall may be formed on the hardened concrete. The method comprises the final step of inserting substantially upright reinforcement bars into the apparatus.
