Feb 4, 2013 · The design of top bars at support of a 300mm width by 500mm depth rc beam has 7 bars. Is it recommended to put all 7 bars in one layer (top most) and bundled together in two's or distributed in two layers? What do you usually do in your practice?

May 7, 2017 · If you have a single layer of rebar, then the effective depth $d$ is equal to: $$d = h - c - \phi_s -\frac{1}{2}\phi_l$$ where $h$ is the beam's height, $c$, the concrete cover, $\phi_s$, the stirrup's diameter, and $\phi_s$, the longitudinal steel's diameter. If you have more layers, then the effective depth becomes:

Apr 19, 2006 · When more than one layer of bars are to be placed, the effective depth reduces, the strength gained by adding bars sometimes are not very significant compared to the loss in ductility, and a lot of headaches such as difficulty in rebar placing and concrete pouring/consolidation.

Nov 20, 2016 · For beams and deep raft foundations, I use multiple layers quite often. For deep, relatively narrow beams, it can be tough to get an efficient amount of rebar into the section without resorting to multiple layers or bundling. Usually, both layers yield completely at ultimate strength.

Minimum cover in beams must be 25 mm or shall not be less than the larger diameter of bar for all steel reinforcement including links. Nominal cover specified in Table 16 and 16A of IS456-2000 should be used to satisfy the durability criteria.

Feb 5, 2021 · A piece of a steel bar provided in between the two layers of the main reinforcement in the beam is called a spacer bar. They are inserted perpendicularly or in a tapered position in between the two layers.

A steel bar placed in between the two layers of the main reinforcement in the beam is called a spacer bar. Mostly, it used in Beams to space the reinforcements of the different layer as shown in the image below.

Nov 20, 2020 · If a side beam is resting on it (when the cantilever beam is acting as a primary beam) as shown in the image below, the top bars of the secondary beams beam must rest on the top bars of the cantilever beams.
