Mechanical RebarSplicing Systems

Introduction

Lap splices depend onconcrete for strength,and therefore lack structural integrity andcontinuity in concreteconstruction.

Mechanical splicing provides the assuranceof maintaining load path continuity of thestructural reinforcement,independent of the condition or existence of the concrete.

ERICO mechanical rebar splices are tested and proven.They offer the most effective method of joining rein-forcing bars and meet the codes of national and inter-national regulatory organizations.

Benefits of Mechanical Splicing

1

Mechanical systems are more reliable than lap systems because they don't depend on the concrete for load transfer.

Mechanical connections offer greater structural integrity. Mechanical splices offer strength and toughness during man-made, seismic or other natural events.

Codes require that mechanical splices deliver higher performance than typical design lengths for lap splices. This is typically 125% to 150% greater capacity* provided by the mechanical splice versus the lap splice.

Lap splicing increases rebar congestion at the lap zone and is one of the major causes for forming rock pockets and voids in the concrete. Mechanical splices eliminate these congestion problems and willmake the overall job more cost effective through minimized job site problems.

Building codes stipulate a steel ratio of under 8% and this makes it nearly impossible to achieve a balanced design with lap splicing. Mechanical splicesallow the designer to achieve an ideal balance of steel and concrete by eliminating the additional rebar in the lap zone.

Working with small diameter reinforcing bars mayrequire the use of larger column dimensions to accommodate a greater quantity of bars. Using mechanical splices allows the option of larger diameterrebar in a smaller column while minimizing congestion.This reduced column size results in a more efficient design and an optimum use of floor space.

Mechanical splices eliminate tedious lap calculations.

Mechanical splices are fast and easy to install and require no specialized skilled labor.

Mechanical splices are cost effective by reducing labor costs and accelerating job schedules.

Dowel bar substitutes reduce labor on site, form- work costs and increase job site safety.

Bar terminators eliminate congestion and simplify bar placing.

Repair splices eliminate the cost of breaking away massive amounts of concrete.

* Depending on reinforcing bar standard

More and more engineers are specifying mechanicalrebar connections over lap splices. They've found thatmechanical connections afford a reliability and consis-tency that can't be found with lap splicing.
