Abstract:
My research revolved 'round lapped bar splices - yea, in particular, how they're placed. You see, when peering at cross-sectional slices, orientation affects how the bars are spaced. First, there's spliced rebar placed side-by-side scatter'd farthest from the neutral axis. But, in the offset splices, I confide, there's more clear spacing - that's what the fact is. Of course, for splice design you must assume only one of the two splice orientations; the lap length can depend on how much room is betwixt the splices, say stipulations. For side splitting, splice spacing has the most influence on failure, a load - resistance incongruence.
