What is detailing?

1. Language of communication
2. Is an essential part of the design process
3. Detailing is as important as design
4. Detailing is the translation of all the
mathematical expressions and equations
results
5. Detailing for the safety of the structure

Few of the reinforcement functions are to:

1. carry internal tensile forces
2. control flexural cracking
3. provide restraint to bars in compression;
4. provide confinement to concrete in compression;
5. provide protection against spalling
