Splices of Rebar: Fig: Splicing of Reinforcement Bar

1. When splicing rebar in columns, joints and the area within h/3 of joints should be avoided as joints are prone to earthquake damage. Rebar should be spliced in the middle of members and not all in the same plane. 2. Splicing is used to join rebar and transfer force when the length needs to be extended. Force is transferred through bond between the concrete and rebar. Concrete at the splice is under high shear and splitting stresses. 3. Common splicing methods are lapping, mechanical joints, and welded joints. Specific requirements exist for lap length, staggerment, enclosure in spirals, and consideration of bar diameter. Special provisions apply for unusual circumstances.

SPLICES OF REBAR

When it comes to overlapping of rebar in column, it is advised you avoid joints and it's vicinity(at
about h/3 from joints). Joints are the critical point in frame as well as other structure. They are
highly prone to earthquake damage. So, rebars should be overlapped in middle and make sure that
all rebars are not overlapped in same plane. When it comes to beam you do it according to attached
drawing:

When the length of reinforcement bar has to be extended in reinforced concrete structural member
splicing is used to join two reinforcement bars to transfer the force from one bar to the joining bar.
The forces are transferred from one bar to the other through bonds in concrete. Force is first
transferred to the concrete through bond from one bar and then it is transferred to the other bar
forming the splice through bond between it and concrete. Thus concrete at the point of splicing is
subjected to high shear and splitting stresses which may cause cracks in concrete.

Splicing of reinforcement bars are carried out by following methods:

1. Lapping of bars

2. Mechanical joint

3. Welded joints

The important points to be noted while providing lap splices in reinforcement bars:

1. Laps in reinforcement should always be staggered. The center to center distances of laps should
not be less than 1.3 times the required lap length of the bars. The bars to be lapped should be
provided either vertically one above the other or horizontally one beside the other.

2. The total lap length of bars including bends, hooks etc. in flexural tension should not be less than
30 times the diameter of the bar of the full development length Ld as calculated, whichever is
greater.

3. Lap length in direct tension should be 30 times diameter of bar (30) or 2 Ld whichever is greater.
Tension splices should be enclosed in spirals made from 6mm bars with pitch not more than 100mm.
Hooks are also to be provided at the end of the tension bars.
4. Lap length is compression should be more than 24 or Ld in compression. When columns are
subjected to bending, lap length may be also increased to the value in bending tension if the bar is
found to be in tension.

5. When two different diameters of bars have to be lapped, the lap length should be calculated
based on the diameter of the smaller bar.

6. Lap splicing of reinforcement bar more than 36mm in diameter should be avoided. In case such
bars have to be lapped then they should be welded. When welding of cold bars is allowed, the
special instructions applicable to these bars should be followed.

7.Where the lapping of reinforcement bars have to be done in unusual circumstances such as
splicing in areas of large moments or more than 50% of the bars have to be spliced, additional
closely spaced spirals should be provided around the lapped bars and the length of lap should be
increased.

8.When bundled bars are to be spliced by lapping, one reinforcement bar at a time is to be spliced
and the splicing should be staggered.

9. If the general rules regarding laps cannot be obeyed in a construction, special welded splices or
mechanical connections should be provided (Cl. 25.2.5.2 of IS 456).
