In reinforced concrete, proper bar spacing is not optional—it’s essential for:
Ensuring concrete flows freely during placement.
Allowing aggregate to pass between bars.
Achieving adequate bonding between steel and concrete.
Preventing honeycombing and weak zones.
🔍 According to the guidelines:
➡️ Minimum clear spacing (a) between bars should be:
≥ Diameter of the bar (if all bars are the same size)
≥ Diameter of the larger bar (if bars are of different sizes)
≥ Nominal maximum size of aggregate + 5 mm
✅ Whichever is maximum among the three becomes your minimum spacing!
