TOPIC 3: SPLICING Flashcards
Is the technique employed to effectively transfer force between reinforcement
bars.
Splicing
This method includes joining and overlapping the bars, ensuring a connection that
maintains a minimum gap of at least two bar diameters between them.
Splicing
This process is crucial in reinforcing structures, providing continuity and strength
throughout the entire length of the bars.
Splicing
It aims to enhance structural integrity and prevent potential weaknesses that may arise
from discontinuities in the reinforcement.
Splicing
What are the different methods of splicing?
- Lap Splicing
a. Contact Lap
b. Non-contact Lap - Mechanical Splicing
- Welded Splicing
Reinforcing bars process involves joining two pieces of rebar by overlapping them to create continuous reinforcement.
Lap Splicing
Lapped sections are wired together.
Contact Lap
Lapped sections do not touch.
Non-contact Lap
Connects bars in direct contact through sleeves or similar devices.
Mechanical Splicing
This method enables rebar sections to act as continuous lengths, offering flexibility in congested reinforcement places at construction joints.
Mechanical Splicing
Provide advantages similar to continuous rebar and are increasingly used in various project sites.
Mechanical Splicing
Involves joining rebar pieces by welding, and transferring stresses through the weld.
Welded Splicing
This method is employed for special conditions, particularly for splicing rebars with a diameter greater than 36mm.
Welded Splicing
Ensures robust connections, contributing to the structural integrity of reinforced elements.
Welded Splicing
A portion of the force transfer is through the bearing of the end of the bar on the concrete.
