This animation explains the lapping zones in a continuous beam and why correct placement is crucial for structural integrity.
In a continuous beam, lapping should be strategically placed in low-stress regions to ensure proper load transfer and avoid structural failure.
Lapping should be done in regions of low bending moment (near points of contraflexure).
Avoid lapping in high-stress zones (such as mid-span or near supports).
Proper lapping improves load distribution and structural performance.
Follows IS code recommendations for reinforcement continuity.
