Rebar Anchorage and Lap Lengths

Rebar Anchorage and Lap Lengths

ProtaDetails is capable of calculating lap and anchorage lengths according to several building codes around the world. This document presents detailed lap and anchorage length calculations for different building codes with case studies.

Reinforcement drawings produced by ProtaDetails, such as the beam elevation detail, inherently adopts the auto-calculated lap and anchorage lengths of the selected code of practice. 

We present this design guide to your attention with the hope that it will be useful. You can find the guide as a PDF file in the attachments.
