Continuous concrete beam reinforcement spans across multiple supports with specific top and bottom bar lengths, lap splices, and stagger requirements. Every third top bar continues across supports, while every other top bar laps at midspan per schedule. Bottom reinforcement follows the rebar plan note, featuring added bottom bars at twelve inches on center where specified and lap splices centered on supports or thirty-six inches minimum. Staggered added top bars extend a minimum distance of thirty-three percent of the clear span into the adjacent spans.
