The standard length of reinforcement bars is 12 meters, as we all know. If the span of a structural member, such as a beam or column, needs to be increased beyond the usual length of the reinforcement bar, we must also raise the length of steel bars by adding extra reinforcement bars. If the straight bars are added end to end, there is a risk of steel sliding out of concrete, which can be avoided by overlapping the bars. The goal of overlapping is to keep the steel bars connected so that the load can be safely transferred from one steel bar to the next.
Hence the main functions of overlapping are;
To maintain the continuity of steel
To transfer the load safely from one bar to the next bar.
For illustration, let’s consider a column that is subjected to some lateral load. If the load is applied in Zone A, it will tend to bend the column in such a way that the maximum moment is generated at zone C. If this load is applied in zone B, both the end zones will experience a maximum bending moment in comparison to the intermediate zone. Similarly, if the load is applied in zone C the maximum moment will be generated at zone A. In all the cases, the end zones will experience maximum bending moment which means maximum tension. Therefore, it would not be safe to overlap the bars in any of the critical zones i.e, tension zones rather it should be provided in the intermediate zone where the member experiences the minimum bending moment. This is applicable to both the beams and the columns. It should be noted that the overlapping of bars should not be done at the same level inside a member, rather it should be done at alternate levels to avoid the buckling of the column.
As per IS 13920, both the critical zones lie at a distance of L/4 from their respective ends.
Note:-
Avoid lapping in tension zone & at Beam/column/slab joint due to maximum stress.
Top & bottom end of a column experience maximum bending moment.
Ties should be spaced closely in the entire lapping zone
