1. A reinforcing assembly comprising:
- one or more longitudinally-extending bars having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a midpoint between the first and second ends; and
multiple downwardly-extending working members each independently connected at a top of the working member to at least one of the one or more bars, the working members oriented diagonally with respect to a longitudinal axis extending along the one or more bars;
wherein the working members connected to the one or more bars between the first end and the midpoint are angled in a different direction than the working members connected to the one or more bars between the second end and the midpoint.

Abstract
In one aspect, a reinforcing assembly includes one or more longitudinally-extending bars having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a midpoint between the first and second ends. The reinforcing assembly also includes multiple downwardly-extending working members each independently connected to at least one of the one or more bars. The working members are oriented diagonally with respect to a longitudinal axis extending along the one or more bars. The working members connected to the one or more bars between the first end and the midpoint are angled in a different direction than the working members connected to the one or more bars between the second end and the midpoint.

20. A reinforcing assembly comprising:
-
multiple longitudinally-extending bars welded to one another along lengths of the bars and configured to provide structural reinforcement within a structure, the bars collectively having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a midpoint between the first and second ends; and multiple working members each independently connected at a top of the working member to the bars, the working members oriented diagonally with respect to a longitudinal axis extending along the bars; wherein the working members connected to the bars between the first end and the midpoint extend downward from the bars away from the midpoint; wherein the working members connected to the bars between the second end and the midpoint extend downward from the bars away from the midpoint; and wherein the working members connected to the bars between the first end and the midpoint are angled in a different direction than the working members connected to the bars between the second end and the midpoint.
