The UK has chosen a maximum value of characteristic yield strength, fyk, = 600 MPa,
but 500 MPa is the value assumed in BS 4449 and 4483 for normal supply.

• If more than 50% of the reinforcement is lapped at one point and the
distance between adjacent laps at a section is ≤ 10 φ transverse bars should
be formed by links or U bars anchored into the body of the section.
• The transverse reinforcement provided as above should be positioned at
the outer sections of the lap as shown below.
