Why are these steel bars left on the column? Many site engineers and masons make a critical mistake by drilling the slab for column lapping during future construction. This is a wrong practice that can weaken the structure. Instead, steel bars from the column should be extended 5 feet above the slab and properly covered with concrete. This method ensures safe lapping and avoids structural damage. Watch this short to learn the right method for column bar lapping in future construction and avoid costly site errors. 📌 Topics Covered: Steel bars in columns Future construction reinforcement Wrong vs. right column lapping Common site mistakes Civil engineering tips #civilengineering #constructiontips #steelbars #columnreinforcement #siteengineer #civilsitework #futureconstruction #columnbars #concreteslab #structuralsafety
