Rebar choice of concrete column and beam
Rebar choice of concrete column and beam
(OP)
Hello engineers,
Is there any problem if we choose larger bar diameter in beam and smaller bar diameter in column?Please experts ansewer with detail.

RE: Rebar choice of concrete column and beam
1) Sometimes you want bars light enough that a single person can move them around.
2) Fewer large bars are often more economical than more smaller bars from a material economics standpoint alone (less column ties etc).
3) Sometimes your bar choice can affect the effectiveness of your flexural depth.
4) More smaller bars can be better for crack control.
5) One should study whether or not beam bars can pass through and around column bars where required.
6) Large bars have long splice lengths.
....
Perhaps you have specific concern that we can address?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
