Spanish term or phrase: además de haber dejado en tales casos
Cuando se necesiten juntas de construcción verticales, las barras de refuerzo deberán ser extendidas a través de la junta de tal manera que la estructura resulte monolítica además de haber dejado en tales casos, llaves de corte formadas por endentaduras de las superficies.

What does it mean "además de haber dejado en tales casos llaves de corte"?
This paragraph is confusing.

Thank you!

Explanation:
"When vertical construction joints (grids) are needed, reinforcement bars must be extended along the joint (grid) to make a monolithic structure, as well as stopping such things, cut-off keys (or valves) formed an indented surface."
(Monoliths are large upright blocks of stone.)

Alternatively: "as well as having left in such cases" instead of "as well as stopping such things", "cut-off keys or valves are formed by indents on the surfaces".

("Cuando juntas de construcción vertical hacen falta, barras de refuerzo deben estar extendidas y puestas a lo largo de (a través de) la junta para formar una estructura monolítica, además de haber dejado (en) tales casos, llaves de corte formadas por endentaduras de las superficies.")
