Lecture 16 - Bar Development

October 23, 2001 CVEN 444

Lecture Goals
Bar Cut-off Points Spice

Example
A preliminary design of reinforcement at sections C and D is shown. Cross section are shown. Select cutoff points for locations C and D based on following requirements . For both locations assume that the flexural design is adequate and that no excess reinforcement is provided. Girder = 16 in. fc =5000 psi fy = 60000 psi

Example
(A) All the negative moment reinforcement at C will be extended past the negative moment point of inflection. Determine the cutoff point for the No 7 negative moment bars at each end. M n3 149 k ft

Example
(B) Cutoff 1 No.7 positive moment bar when it is no longer needed at each end. Provide the distance for location D (at midspan) to the cutoff point at each end of the bar.

Bar Splices
Why do we need bar splices? -- for long spans
Types of Splices 1. 2. 3. Butted &Welded Mechanical Connectors Lay Splices Must develop 125% of yield strength

Tension Lap Splices

Why do we need bar splices? -- for long spans
Types of Splices 1. 2. Contact Splice Non Contact Spice (distance 6 and splice length)

1/5

Splice length is the distance the two bars are overlapped.

Types of Splices
Class A Spice
When

(ACI 12.15.2)

As provided As req'd

over entire splice length.

and 1/2 or less of total reinforcement is spliced win the reqd lay length.
Class B Spice All tension lay splices not meeting requirements of Class A Splices

Tension Lap Splice (ACI 12.15)

where

As(reqd) = determined for bending ld = development length for bars (not allowed to use excess reinforcement modification factor)

ld must be greater than or equal to 12 in.

Lap Spices shall not be used for bars larger than No. 11. (ACI 12.14.2 Lap Spices should be placed in away from regions of high tensile stresses -locate near points of inflection (ACI 12.15.1)

Compression Lap Splice (ACI 12.16)

Lap, reqd = 0.0005fy db for fy < 60000 psi Lap, reqd = (0.0009fy -24) db for fy > 60000 psi Lap, reqd >= 12 in For fc <= 3000 psi, required lap splice shall be multiply by (4/3) (ACI 12.16.1)

In tied column splices with effective tie area throughout splice length 0.0015 hs factor = 0.83 In spiral column splices, factor =0.75 But final splice length 12 in.
