i have read the articles and the posts about the ufer grounds and they were quite interesting and i have a question. if the rebar in a slab is new and accessible, does it have to be bonded to the rest of the grounding electrode system. the rebar that i am referring to is the steel that is embedded in the slab that reinforces the concrete, not the rebar that is placed in the footers. Art. 250.50 says " if available " all the electrodes SHALL be bonded together to form the grounding electrode system. in my opinion, if they are there and they are accessible before the concrete is poured we are required to bond them together as per the article. am i wrong in assuming this because we all know what assumptions are... they are the mother of all !@#$! ups. please respond.
