What are overlap lengths for columns, beam, slab etc?
I was wondering if you could explain what overlap lengths are for columns, beam, slab, etc.?
Sure! In construction, overlap length refers to the length of the longitudinal reinforcement that extends from one section of a column or beam to the next. This overlap is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of a building, as it creates a continuous path for the transfer of forces between adjacent sections.
