The limit state method helps us to know the capacity load or working load of the structure. The motive of using the limit state method is to construct a safe and comfortable structure. Assumption in Limit State of Collapse: In concrete, the relationship between the stress-strain distribution is assumed to be parabolic.

If we don't provide lap length then the load transfer mechanism will fail which eventually lead to failure of structure also if we provide less lap length then the required then the reinforcement bar split and Crack can be developed in the concrete. The calculation for tension zone and compression zone are different.

Concrete is capable of conducting and electric current and acts as the electrolyte with the circuit being completed by the bar through which the electrons can flow. provided by good quality concrete produces a protective layer around the steel preventing the flow of current. However the highly alkaline environment (pH about 12.8)

For deck builders in the Northern parts of the US, frost heave is the ultimate variable. The incident rate is far lower than might be expected based on frost susceptibility soil conditions parameters as well as many environmental cycles and represents statistical evidence of wholly acceptable Diamond Pier performance in frost zone soils.
