The behavior of reinforced precast concrete beam with lap splices in bottom bars in flexural plastic hinged region is described. The results from 17 bending and shearing test specimens are presented. The main variables studied are the construction method, the way to overlap bottom bars, the lap length, the position of lap splices, and space, and yield strength of transverse reinforcement. In this paper, the structural behavior of the beam and the property of the lap splices are made clear. The results show that the beam with lap splices in flexural plastic hinged region shows good ductility by taking proper measures.
