What is the clear cover in reinforcement and what is the development length in beams and where should beam be give junction

Question

Accepted Answer

Clear cover in reinforcement is the distance between the outer surface of the concrete and the nearest surface of the reinforcement. Development length in beams is the length required for the bar to transfer its full stress to the concrete.

Clear cover in reinforcement is important to protect the reinforcement from corrosion and provide fire resistance.
Development length in beams is the length of the bar required to transfer its stress to the concrete. It is influenced by factors like bar diameter, concrete strength, and bond strength.
Beams should be given junction at points where there is maximum bending moment to ensure proper load transfer and structural integrity.

Accepted Answer

Clear cover is gap between steel to inner side of shuttering  or development the length of reinforcement (bar) required to be either embedded or projected into the column to achieve the desired bond strength between the concrete and steel or any two types of materials and junction is given in beam at the corner.
