Spacing of Reinforcing Bars
By Ashish Verma
The minimum limits are necessary to ensure that the concrete can be placed easily in between and around the bars during the
placement of fresh concrete.
If all the reinforcing bars cannot be accommodated in a single layer with the necessary clearance between the bars and the clear
cover on the two sides, the options are
• to increase the beam width;
• to place the bars in two or more layers, properly separated; and
• to bundle groups of parallel bars (two, three or four bars in each bundle)
The maximum limits are specified for bars in tension for the purpose of controlling crack-widths and improving bond.
It may be noted that, for a given area of tension reinforcement, providing several small-diameter bars (that are well distributed
in one or more layers in the extreme tension zone) is more effective in controlling cracks and improving bond than providing
fewer bars of larger diameter.
For this reason, the Code (Cl. 26.5.2.2 & 26.3.3b) limits the maximum diameter of reinforcing bars in slabs to one-eighth of the
total thickness of the slab, and the maximum spacing of such main bars to 3d or 300 mm (whichever is less)
However, it may be noted that when large cover is provided, more stringent bar spacing may be required to achieve the desired
crack control

PART: -46
Nominal Cover to Reinforcement
By Ashish Verma
Clear cover is the distance measured from the exposed concrete surface (without plaster and other
finishes) to the nearest surface of the reinforcing bar
This cover is required to protect the reinforcing bars from
1.corrosion
2.fire
3.also to give the reinforcing bars sufficient embedment to enable them to be stressed without ‘slipping’ (losing
bond with the concrete)
It may be noted that in the earlier version of the Code, the clear cover requirements were based on the type of structural element
(for example, 15 mm in slabs, 25 mm in beams, 40 mm in columns, etc.).
In general, for a nominal 1 hour fire resistance, the nominal cover specified is 20 mm for beams and slabs, and 40 mm for columns. Larger cover is
required only if the structural element under consideration has to be specially designed for fire resistance.
