TY  - JOUR
AB  - The paper is concerned with the design of tension laps in reinforced concrete structures. The most recent codified design recommendations for reinforcement laps and anchorages are found in fib Model Code 2010 (MC2010). These recommendations have heavily influenced the draft revision of EN 1992 which is due for publication in 2023. The draft EN 1992 proposal for tension laps is still under development with the main point of discussion being the basic multiplier required to achieve the level of safety prescribed by EN 1990. This is contentious since laps designed to MC2010 can be significantly longer than laps designed to EN 1992 (2004) which many UK designers consider excessive in comparison with previous UK practice. The paper examines the safety of tension laps and proposes a refined design equation for inclusion in the 2023 revision to EN 1992. The proposed design equation achieves the level of safety required by EN 1990 whilst giving lap and anchorage lengths more consistent with current practice than MC2010.
