Reinforcement bar spacing determines concrete coverage and structural capacity. Adequate spacing ensures proper concrete consolidation and strength.

  1. 1Minimum spacing typically 1.5× bar diameter or 40 mm, whichever is larger
  2. 2Account for aggregate size (spacing > 1.3× max aggregate diameter)
  3. 3Calculate based on cover requirements and member width

Worked Examples

Инпут
#25 rebars (25 mm), clear cover 50 mm, beam width 400 mm
Резултат
Maximum ~4 bars fit with 50 mm spacing
Detailed calculation

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Neglecting concrete cover in spacing calculations
  • Over-crowding reinforcement in small beams

Frequently Asked Questions

Why space rebar widely?

Concrete must flow around bars; tight spacing creates voids, reducing strength.

What if spacing is too tight?

Concrete won't fully consolidate; hidden voids reduce strength and durability.
