Difference between overlap and development length of rod.
Thanks.

Answer Posted / santosh singh

1) overlap= during placing steel for RCC structure if the
required length of bar is not available then lapping ie.
placing two bars side by side for a designed length is done.

lap length is in between 40d to 60d where d= diameter of
the bar. but if overlap length is not given 50d value is
assumed

eg, if dia of bar is 12mm then
lap length= 50x 12 = 600mm

2)Development length= (nominal diameter of bar x stress in
bar) / (4 x design bond stress )

if d=12 mm
stress in bar =415 N/mm2
design bond stress for M20 CONCRETE = 1.2 N/mm2
then,
Ld = 12 x 415 /4 x 1.2 = 1037mm say 1m

this length is for steel in tension while development
length for steel in compression is 25 % less

ie in compression zone development length for same detail
will be = 1- 25/100x1= 1-.25 =0.75m ie 750mm

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
