Calculating overlap length

Parameters for polygon splitting

Allplan calculates the overlap length while taking into account the parameters you have defined, the standard you have selected in the options, the concrete strength grade set, the selected steel grade for bar reinforcement and the current diameter (these parameters are for information only).

To define the overlap length

1. Specify the Req.'d As / Existing As ratio, the Bars without longitudinal stagger and the Condition of bond.
2. Choose whether Allplan is to calculate the overlap length for a Tensile splice or a Compressive splice.

   When you select Compressive splice for the stress type, the entry you make for Bars without longitudinal stagger has no effect on the overlap length.

   The basic dimension of the anchorage length and the overlap length are displayed for information.

3. Click OK to confirm the settings.
