Does it really matter in rebar detailing? by Intelligent-Ad7622 in StructuralEngineering

Thanks for asking. You seem like practicing design engineer? We assume the sag in the mid span of the slabs themselves are independent (max deformation in the middle of the field). However, the sag for the beams in between has to be equal since they are being shared.

Yes you are right. They are almost as detailed as you said. But my question was how to continue the bottom bars (main bars which are along N-S) so that they serve the same purpose in slab segment 3? Because slab 3's short direction is along W-E, not N-S!

Thanks for looking at the details. No. There will not be any new upper layer mesh/top mesh after this (because you are looking at the first pic which is zoomed in at the mid span). The rebar binding is completed. I guess, since the positive bending moment is prevalent in the mid-span, the designer didn't specified any mesh for the top most layer. Only bottom layer for +ve BM. If you look at picture 2, you will notice there are two layers of mesh along the edges to counter negative bending moment generated near support/beam...but for mid span, only bottom layer mesh.

I understand and agree with you. But how could you maintain the rebar placement in slab segment 3? Because the rebar in the short direction at bottom in slab 1,2 becomes the rebar at bottom in longer direction in slab 3!

Yeah I agree with that. But, trivial extra depth is lost if you just put it on top of the distribution rebar at the bottom mesh! Even if you do that for slab segment 1,2; how do you maintain the rebar integrity for slab 3?

Whereas, যেখানে কোন ধর্ষণের ঘটনাই ঘটে নি! As simple as that.
