In this civil engineering article, you will get detail information on over lapping length of
steel in slab, beam and column.
Overlapping means the extra length arranged in the reinforcement steel bars. Here, two
lengths are overlapped and attached with a wire to increase the length of any steel bar
whenever necessary.
For beam, the diameter of the steel should be 24D (for compression zone)
While developing any structure, there are two major types of forces like tension and
compression. Each material possesses the strength to retain a specific amount of tension
and a compression.
A tension force pulls the materials aside. A compression force compresses the material
together.
Overlapping length of slab should be 60D = 60 x 12 = 720 mm (diameter of bar =12 mm)
In beam, there are two steel bars. One is located at top and one is located at bottom.
When the load is delivered to the top portion, it is compressed and when the load is
delivered in lower portion, it gets tensiled.
