Image A: The development length is provided in the beam and column junction. Due
to this the stresses developed are easily transferred by the bond created by steel and
concrete.

Image B: The development length is not provided in the beam and column junction.
Due to this the stresses developed in the beams will not be able to transfer it to the
column.

Lap Length: Lap length is the minimum length that must be provided if two bars are
joined together such that the forces can be transferred easily.

Image A: Check the lap splice provided in the beam. The length of the overlap
changes depending on the flexural tension, direct tension and compression, In our
practical site condition it is taken about 50 x diameter of bar.

Image B: Check the image if bars are not overlapped no forces are transferred.

Originally Answered: What is development length, Anchorage length and lap length in rcc?

lap length is the length that is provided in excess over another bar to lap one bar over
another. It mainly depends on Steel dia used in reinforcement,grade of concrete to be
used and zone it is used .

Anchorage length is one type of development length provided inside the fixed or
support end. It is 4 times dia of bar for 180 Degree bend,6 times for 135 degree and 8
times for 90 degree bend of bar.

Development length is just the length of bar required to be provided to transfer load
or stress from steel to concrete.

reinforcement at supports of continuous beams, cantilever supports. development length in steel reinforcement?

End anchorage is the length of reinforcement that needs to be embedded into the
support for complete stress transfer. Mechanical bends may be used as per Indian
standards as these account for additional bond.

Lap is required when a reinforcement bar needs to be spliced at a section. This is

again to ensure sufficient development length at every section. The bar that ends
midway lacks the sufficient development length at the sections closer to its end and
the bar that begins midway lacks the development length at the beginning sections.
In order to satisfy both the requirements the bars are overlapped for a sufficient
length on either sides of the intended splice point.
