What is Lap Length?
The lap length is the length provided to overlap two rebars in order to safely transfer load from one bar to another bar and alternative to this is to provide mechanical couplers. It is also known as lap splices.Lapping should be done in a staggered manner. These laps should not be given at the same level to avoid buckling. The stirrup shall be closely spaced in the lapping portion it’s because when we provide lapping in concrete member the strength of member slightly reduces.
