-Recommended Clear Distance between Bars

o o o o .

Not less than bar diameter nor more than 25mm for beams Not less than 1.5bar diameter nor more than 40mm for columns When bars are placed several layers, the clear distance between layers must not
be less than 25mm

Maximum spacing of main reinforcing bars in slabs and walls is equal to 3 times the wall or slab thickness or 500mm whichever is smaller

Spacing for Ties

for Columns o Not more than 16 times bar diameter o Not more than 48 times tie diameter o Not more than the least dimension of the cross section Standard Hooks (NSCP,4s ed. t;gg?J, o A 9Oo, 135o, 18Oo bend made at the end of a reinforcing bar according to industry standards with radius based on the bar diameter. o 180o bend plus Adb extension, but not less than 65mm at free end of bar. o 90" bend plus 12db extension, at free end of bar.

0ne-Way Slab * A concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in one direction and cast integrally with parallel supporting beams. One-way slabs are suitable only for relatively short spans. This type of slab is supported by two parallel beams, the beam framing into girders in turn framing into columns. The reinforcement in the slab run in one direction only, from beam to beam, hence the slab is known
as

0ne-way Slab.

Expansion

. . . . . .

Joint

,,

joint or gap b'dtween adjacent parts of a building or structure or concrete work which permits their relative movement due to temperature changes {or other conditions) without rupture of damage. Also called Contraction Joint.
A

Construction Joint . A joint where two successive placements of concrete meet. lsolation Joint

Often called Expansion Joint, it allows movement between concrete slab and adjoining columns and walls of a building. ControlJoint . Joint that creates lines of weakness so that cracking that may result from tensile stress occurs along predetermined lines.
Beam-and-Girder Slab

'

A one-way slab supported b), secondary beams which in turn are supported by primary beams or girders.

Continuous Slab . A reinforced concrete slab extending as structural unit over three or more supports in a given ciirection. A continuous slab is subject to lower bending moments than a series of discrete, simply supported slabs.
Flat Plate

A concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in two or more directions and supported directly by columns without beams or girders. FIat plates are suitable for short to medium spans with relatively light live loads. Since there are no column capitals or drop panels, shear governs the thickness of a flat plate.

'

FIat slab

A flat plate thickened at its column supports with column capitals and drop panels to increase its shear strength and moment-resisting capacity" Flat slabs are suitable for heavy loaded spans"

Waffle slab * A two-way *one rete slab rcinforeed by ribs in twc direetions. Waffle slah are able to earry heavier loads and spans longer distances than flat slabs. Supporting beams and dr*p panels can be forrned by omitting in selected areas.
