The design and detailing details of wall construction depend on many factors such as its purpose, type and amount of load on it, its support conditions, types of soils, etc. Unless these details are known, the sectional details can not be accurate or as required.

Wastage occurs in case of steel reinforcement in concrete construction. Since cement, sand and coarse aggregates are measured and then used as per required quantity based on mix ratio, their wastage does not occur. Steel reinforcement are of specific length and they need to be cut as per drawing. SoRead more
Wastage occurs in case of steel reinforcement in concrete construction. Since cement, sand and coarse aggregates are measured and then used as per required quantity based on mix ratio, their wastage does not occur. Steel reinforcement are of specific length and they need to be cut as per drawing. So, some small pieces may remain unused, which is considered as wastage.

Gopal Mishra
Lapping of reinforcement is usually done where minimum bending stress is required. In general, lap length is 50d which means 50 times the bar diameter is provided if both bars are of same diameter. Lap length in tension: The lap length including anchorage value of hooks shall be For flexural tensionRead more
Lapping of reinforcement is usually done where minimum bending stress is required. In general, lap length is 50d which means 50 times the bar diameter is provided if both bars are of same diameter.
Lap length in tension:
The lap length including anchorage value of hooks shall be
For flexural tension – Ld or 30d whichever is greater is considered.
For direct tension – 2Ld or 30d whichever is greater is considered.
The straight length of lapping of bars shall not be less than 15d or 20cm.
Lap Length in Compression:
The lap length is equal to the development length calculated in compression but not less than 24d.
For Different Diameter Bars:

Convert Cubic Meter of Laterite to Tonnes.
Gopal Mishra
For the conversion, you need to know the density of laterite which is around 1019 kg/m³. So, basically it is 1.019 tonnes per cubic meter.
