Integrity (NSCP 6th Ed 2010)

.2.2 Beams at the perimeter of the structure shall

have continuous reinforcement over the span
length passing thru the region bounded by the
longitudinal reinforcement of the column
consisting of
1. At least 1/6 of the tension reinforcement
required for neg. moment at the support, but
not less than two bars;
2. At least 1/4 of the for positive moment
reinforcement required at mid span, but not
less than two bars.
 407.14 Requirements for Structural
Integrity (NSCP 6th Ed. 2010)
.2.5 In other than perimeter beams,
when closed stirrups are not
provided, at least 1/4 of the positive
moment reinforcement required at
midspan shall be continuous or
shall be spliced over the support
with a “class B” tension splice and
at non- continuous supports be
terminated with a standard hook.

only as required or permitted on design
drawings or in specifications, or as
authorized by the engineer-of-record.

.1 Shall not be used for bars larger than 36 mm diameter,
except as provided in Sections 412.17.2 and 415.9.2.3.
.2 Lap splices of bars in a bundle shall be based on the lap
splice length required for individual bars within the bundle,
increased in accordance with Section 412.5. Individual bar
splices within a bundle shall not overlap. Entire bundles shall
not be lap spliced.
.3 Bars spliced by non contact lap splices in flexural members
shall not be spaced transversely farther apart than 1/5 the
required lap splice length or 150 mm.
