Assembly of Reinforcement

You may see Section for details. However, some additional points  are given here : 
  • All reinforcement shall be placed  and maintained in the position  shown in drawings, during concreting. 
  • Ensure that reinforcement is clean, free from  scale, rust, grease, oil and other deleterious matter. 
  • Ensure that  laps in  reinforcement are staggered and as far as possible provided in  the regions of centraflexure. 
  • Avoid congestion of reinforcement, so that concrete reaches all locations to provide bond. 
  • Ensure that proper cover is provided to the reinforcement by placing  properly cured cement mortar blocks of correct thickness at least at 1.5 meter intervals. 
  • Proper pathways are provided over the reinforcement so that  the same is not disturbed when  workman move over it to place concrete. 
  • Pay special attention to placement of top reinforcement in cantilevers. It should be so fixed that  it does not move to bottom due to movement of workers.
