Join date: Mar 2008 | Dear Sir, There should be no joints in steel bars used for RCC work. If it is necessary to use small length steel bars, proper overlap should be given. The joints of bars should be welded in case the diameter of bars is more than 36 mm. Overlapping of bars should not touch each other and they should be kept apart. Where it is not possible, overlapping bars should be bound together at intervals not exceeding twice the diameter of such bars with two strands of steel wires trusted tight. The overlap should be staggered for different bars. The length of overlap should not be less than 50 times the diameter of steel bar. | |
