Lap splices are used to join two pieces of rebar to create a continuous line. The required lap splice length varies based on factors like concrete strength, rebar grade, size, and spacing. Contact splices, where bars touch and are wired together, are preferred. According to industry standards, the engineer must specify lap splice locations and lengths on structural drawings. For tension lap splices between different sized bars, the larger of the tension lap splice length or development length is used. Similarly, for compression lap splices the larger of the compression development length or lap splice length is used. Lap splices of bars #14 and #18 should generally not be used.

CONCRETE REINFORCING STEEL INSTITUTE (CRSI)

Lap Splices

A lap is when two pieces of rebar are overlapped to create a continuous line of rebar. The length of the
lap varies depend on concrete strength, the rebar grade, size, and spacing. CRSI's "Reinforcement
Anchorage and Splices" includes tables of required lap splice lengths based on these variables.

Contact splices--in which the bars touch and are wired together--are preferred because they are more
secure against displacement during construction. Non-contact lap-spliced bars should not be spaced
too far apart.

For lap splice design and construction, the ACI 318 Building Code requires the Engineer to indicate
locations and lengths of all lap splices on the structural drawings.

Where reinforcing bars of two sizes are lap-spliced in tension, industry practice is to use the larger of
the tension lap splice length for the smaller bar, or the tension development length for the larger bar.
When bars of different sizes are lap-spliced in compression, the lap splice length must be the larger of
the compression development length of the larger bar or the compression lap splice length of the
smaller bar.

Lap splices of #14 and #18 bars should not be used, except in compression only to #11 and smaller
bars. Lap splices of bundled bars should be based on the lap splice length recommended for individual
bars of the same size, and individual splices within the bundle should not overlap each other. The
length of lap should be increased 20% for a 3-bar bundle and 33% for a 4-bar bundle. Bar laps should
be securely wire-tied together to maintain the alignment of the bars and to provide minimum concrete
cover.
