Steel Bars Over-Lap Formulas Used In Column, slab And beams

Lap length is one of the important term in the reinforcement. This is usually confused
with another important term called development length and anchorage length. During the
placement of steel in Reinforced concrete structure, if the required length of single bar
may fall short. To get the desired design length, lapping of two bars side by side is
done.  An alternative to this is to provide mechanical couplers.
Why over Lapping of steel is important?

different in different concrete mixes because different concrete having a different

crushing strength.
Note

1- The lapping is not provided above 36 mm diameter bars because those diameter bars
doesnʼt transfer the stresses from one bar to another bar and also the alignment of the
column bar is also affected by providing the lap on these bars.
2- The lapping of the steel bars also not provided in high shear force zones and it should
be provided at that zone where shear force wil be minimum.
Lapping of Different Concrete Mix

In M 15 Concrete Mix: In M 15 we use the concrete mix 1 : 2: 4 means 1 part of cement, 2

part of sand and 4 part of aggregates.
Tension zone        Compression Zone
Fe 250 – 55 ∅              Fe 250 – 45 ∅
Fe 415 – 57 ∅               Fe 415 – 47 ∅
Fe 500 – 68 ∅              Fe 500 – 57 ∅
In M 20 Concrete Mix:  In M 20 we use the concrete mix 1: 1.5 : 3 means 1 part of cement,
1.5 part of sand and 3 part of aggregates.

In M 25 Concrete Mix: In M 25 we use the concrete mix 1 : 1: 2 means 1 part of cement, 1

part of sand and 2 part of aggregates.
Tension zone        Compression Zone
Fe 250 – 39 ∅              Fe 250 – 32 ∅
Fe 415 – 41 ∅               Fe 415 – 33 ∅
Fe 500 – 49 ∅              Fe 500 – 39 ∅
Where ∅ is a diameter of the bar. Suppose we are using a steel bar Fe 500 and concert
mix M25. The diameter of the bar wil be 10 mm. By using the formula, the splice length
of the steel bar wil be 49 x 10 = 490 mm and if the bar is in tension zone and 39 x 10
= 390 mm if the bar is in the compression zone.
