What is Lap Length? Lap length is the length overlap of bars tied together to achieve the desired design length. It ensures the transfer of load from one bar to another effectively, maintaining the structural integrity of the concrete. Types of Lap Length Tension Lap Length (Lt): For bars in tension zones (e.g., the bottom…
