shotcrete stairs - rebars needed?

[jmassoud87]

I was wondering, are rebars typically needed for stairs in a shotcrete pool? Or are stairs built without rebars?
This is a pool for one of my clients, and there was not rebars. Is this the norm?

Not normal. Do you have pictures of the before stage? What does the rebar/structural drawings show?

Rebar requirements are not typical in steps, as long as the steps are located within the rebar cage of the pool.
Benches and seats located in the deep end of a pool will have rebar and the reason is that the shotcrete will now have something to hold on to in a vertical position.
