Welded splicing is used for special conditions splicing of rebars with a diameter greater than 36mm. This method of splicing is done by welding so that the stresses are transferred by weld. Mechanical splicing methods are being adopted in project sites due to their flexibility of use in congested reinforcement places at construction joints. Mechanical splices join rebar end-to-end, providing many of the advantages of a continuous piece of rebar. The method is used to create connections between two pieces of rebar that enable the bars to act like continuous lengths of rebar. In this method of splicing, the bars in direct contact are mechanically connected through sleeves or other similar devices. Lapped sections of non-contact lap splices do not touch and are permitted in practice provided the distance between lap sections meets the specified code requirements. ![]() The lapped sections of contact lap splices are wired together. Bar splice methods have always been studied and discussed by structural engineers due to their crucial influence on the seismic performance of RC elements. There are two types of lap splices: contact lap and non-contact lap splices. This helps transfer loads properly throughout the structure. This type of splicing is done using a lap splice to join two pieces of rebar overlap to form a continuous reinforcement. The method involves joining the bars together and overlapping them, but leaving at least two bar diameters between the bars.ĭifferent methods of Splicing Reinforced Bar The method used to join the reinforcement bars, so that the force is transferred effectively from one bar to the other is called splicing. ![]()
