Detailing at column/beam intersection
Detailing at column/beam intersection
(OP)
The design code specified that no more than 10 percent of steel area is permitted at column lapping. On site I noticed the intersection between beam and column (internal column) is packed with reinforcement. It's even worse if the beam and column are lapping at that particular point. It's almost impossible to pour and
vibrate concrete properly. If you seperate the beams and columns, the area of steel is within the code allowance. Comments?

From second sentance I understand you are discussing about conjustion of reinforcement at beam/column junction.Usualy it is true as the steel in this region is governed by moment crying capacity of the junction.It further worsense if you are designing and detailing for seismic lodas. This only improved by proper detailing, proportioning the member sizes and adding plastisozers to the concrete mix if required
