Cutting Length of Distribution Bar Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cutting Length of Distribution Bar = Clear Span of Longer Side-(2*Concrete Cover for Slabs)
L_{dist bars} = L_{clear(longer side)}-(2*C_slab)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Cutting Length of Distribution Bar - (Measured in Meter) - Cutting Length of Distribution Bar is the actual length of the distribution bar which will be shaped up for laying at the required position.
Clear Span of Longer Side - (Measured in Meter) - Clear Span of Longer Side is the clear distance between two support of the longer side of the structural component.
Concrete Cover for Slabs - (Measured in Meter) - Concrete Cover for Slabs is the least distance between the surface of embedded reinforcement and the outer surface of the concrete.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Clear Span of Longer Side: 6001 Millimeter --> 6.001 Meter (Check conversion here)
Concrete Cover for Slabs: 25 Millimeter --> 0.025 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_{dist bars} = L_{clear(longer side)}-(2*C_slab) --> 6.001-(2*0.025)

Evaluating ... ...

L_{dist bars} = 5.951

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.951 Meter -->5951 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

5951 Millimeter <-- Cutting Length of Distribution Bar

What are the Functions of Distribution Bars?

The functions of distribution bars are as under
1. Distribution bars are provided to resist the shear stress and cracks developed in the longer span.
2. Distribution bars are provided perpendicularly to the top of the main bar.
3. Lesser dimension bars are used.
4. Distribution bars are provided in the longer span direction.

What is Distribution Bars?

The reinforcement bars that are placed above the main bar in a one-way slab, to distribute the superimposed load to the main bar are called distribution bars. The distribution bar helps to firmly hold the main bars in their assigned position. They also act against shrinkage stresses due to temperature variations.

How to Calculate Cutting Length of Distribution Bar?

Cutting Length of Distribution Bar calculator uses Cutting Length of Distribution Bar = Clear Span of Longer Side-(2*Concrete Cover for Slabs) to calculate the Cutting Length of Distribution Bar, The Cutting Length of Distribution Bar formula is defined as the actual length of 1 distribution bar to be laid in the required position for a slab of a given dimension. Cutting Length of Distribution Bar is denoted by L_{dist bars} symbol.

How to calculate Cutting Length of Distribution Bar using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cutting Length of Distribution Bar, enter Clear Span of Longer Side (L_{clear(longer side)}) & Concrete Cover for Slabs (C_slab) and hit the calculate button.
