What is the minimum diameter of bar to be used in a column?
As per IS 456:2000, In Rectangular/circular/ square/helical RCC column, compressive member, vertical support, minimum diameter of reinforcement bar/ longitudinal bar used is 12mm. All structural engineer recommends 12mm dia bar as minimum diameter of bar for column.
When bars of two different diameters are they spliced?
If this is your question, the answer is because the larger diameter bars are resisting bending action of the column which on one side is tension which concrete cannot take effectively. The smaller bars would give the concrete stability and keep it together in a monolith to resist cracking.
What is the minimum diameter of bar to be used in a beam?
Minimum diameter of bar used in slab is 8mm. As per IS 456:2000 minimum diameter of bar used for column is 12mm. All structural engineer recommends 12mm dia bar as minimum diameter of bar for beam.
When bar of two different diameter are to be spliced the lap length is calculated on the basis of?
When bars of two different diameters are to be spliced, the lap length should be calculated on the basis of the smaller diameter. Splices in tension members shall be enclosed in spirals made of bars not less than 6 mm diameter with the pitch, not more than 10mm.
What is dia of steel?
Comparison List of Deformed Steel Bar Size and Weight:
| SIZE (Diameter) | THEORETICAL WEIGHT KG/M |
|---|---|
| 6mm | 0.222 |
| 8mm | 0.395 |
| 10mm | 0.62 |
| 12mm | 0.89 |
When two different diameters of bars have to be lapped the lap length should be calculated based on the diameter of the smaller bar?
Normally lap length is 50D meaning 50 times the bar diameter if both bars are of same diameter. When lapping two bars of different diameters, the lap length is considered as 50 times the smaller diameter.
When splicing rebar The minimum lap should be?
The total lap length of bars including bends, hooks etc. in flexural tension should not be less than 30 times the diameter of the bar of the full development length Ld as calculated, whichever is greater. Lap length in direct tension should be 30 times diameter of bar (30) or 2 Ld whichever is greater.
What is tension lap?
A lap is when two pieces of reinforcing bar (rebar) are overlapped to create a continuous line of rebar. Where reinforcing bars of two sizes are lap-spliced in tension, industry practice is to use the larger of the tension lap splice length for the smaller bar, or the tension development length for the larger bar.
What is a bar diameter?
Rebar is sized nominally by “eighths of an inch” of the bar’s diameter. Every bar can be measured in eighths of an inch. A #3 bar is 3/8″ in diameter. A #10 bar is about 10/8″ in diameter. This is the same as 1.27″.
What is bar nominal diameter?
The nominal diameter of a deformed bar is equivalent to the diameter of a plain bar having the same weight per foot as the deformed bar.
What is the weight m of 12mm diameter round bar?

| 12mm | 0.89 |
| 14mm | 1.21 |
| 16mm | 1.58 |
