When column reinforcement bars overlap excessively, it can lead to congestion of steel within the concrete. This makes it challenging to ensure proper concrete flow and placement during construction, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the column.
Overlapping reinforcement improperly can result in poor concrete compaction around the steel bars. This can create voids or gaps in the concrete, known as honeycombing, weakening the column and reducing its load-bearing capacity.
Overlapping reinforcement can increase the weight of the concrete column unnecessarily. This added weight can lead to higher material costs and may require more substantial support structures, contributing to increased construction expenses.
The effectiveness of reinforcement overlap in column construction depends on grade of concrete. When not done correctly, it can compromise the structural strength of the column, emphasizing the importance of skilled labor and quality control in the construction process.
Overall, improper overlapping of column reinforcement leads to project cost escalation. This includes expenses for additional labor, materials, and potential rework to rectify structural issues caused by congestion or honeycombing.
