Development length and lap length are two vital parts of reinforcement. But there are some basic differences among development length and lap length. While going to arrange the steel in RC structure, if the necessary length of a bar is unavailable to produce a design length then lapping is essential. Lapping occurs because of overlapping […]

Spiral bars are frequently applied in round columns, piers and piles. Therefore, it is necessary to know the process efficiently for defining the cutting length of a spiral bar or helix bars as well as measuring the quantities. Spiral bars are generally utilized in round columns as they perform in a superior manner as compared […]
