Connection Devices and Structural Properties of Reinforcing Bar Splices

Abstract

Splicing of reinforcing bars is indispensable in reinforcing technology. Lap splices and gas pressure-welded splices were common in reinforced concrete construction, but recently many kinds of mechanical splices have been developed to joint high strength and large-diameter bars or pre-cast concrete members. In this paper many kinds of splices are classified, and then the characteristics of the splices are described. Besides is summarized currently available information about the study on structural members with splices.
