What to do if there are enough re-bars in a slab?

If we find out that that there are enough re-bars we can do the following: The existing slab should be chipped out to expose the re-bars. The length of re-bars thus exposed should be at least be sufficient to develop the bond length. For every bar exposed new bars from the new slab side should be tied.
