DEVELOPMENT OF BARS IN TENSION - SINGLE LOCATION SPLICE - ACI 25.4.2.2 METHOD
ACI 318-14 CHAPTER 25.4 : DEVELOPMENT AND SPLICES OF REINFORCEMENT (METRIC - MPa)
SAMPLE PROJECT, ANYTOWN - SEISMIC DESIGN

Member: Shear Wall

Location: E-W Gridline: 2

N-S Gridline: B-C
Floor Level : 1

1. Rebar Splice Parameters Metric Bars : x (Inch-Pound Bars otherwise)

Reinforcement Data:
Bar Size = 36 (Bar number) => Ab = 1,006 mm2 (Bar Area)
db = 35.80 mm (Bar Diameter)

Sb = 0.30 Meters (Bar spacing)

Hoop Size: 13 (Bar number) => Av = 129 mm2 (Hoop Area)

dh = dv = 12.70 mm (Hoop Diameter)
Yes No
Coated x
Top Bars x (More than 0.305 Meters of concrete below)

Bar concrete cover:

dcp = 0.040 Meters (Cover provided) Where dc = 0.038 Meters (ACI 20.6.1.3.1, Walls using No. 43 and 57 bars)
OK, ≥ dc = 0.019 Meters ( " , Walls using No. 36 bars and smaller)

Materials : f'c = 27.6 MPa

ρc = 2,403 Kg/M3 => NWC (Normal vs Light Weight Concrete, ACI 2.2; threshold is 1,842 Kg/M3)

fy = 413.8 MPa

Splice Requirements
Note: The development lengths and lap splices are provided assuming that all bars may be spliced at any one location. In the event shorter development and lap splice lengths are desired by staggering
bar laps or splices, ACI 318-14 Section 25.4.2.2 shall be used.
a) Columns
1. Per ACI 318-14 Section 18.7.4.3, the location of lap splices of column bars must be within the center half of the member length. In addition, the splices must also be designed as tension splices. If all
the bars are spliced at the same location, the slices need to be Class B = 1.3 ld.
b) Walls
1. Per ACI 318-14 Sec. 18.10.2.3, reinforcement in structural walls shall be developed or spliced for fy in tension in accordance with Chapter 12, except at locations where yielding of longitudinal
reinforcement is likely to occur as a result of lateral displacements, development of longitudinal reinforcement shall be 1.25 times the values calculated for fy in tension.
2. Class B splices (1.3 ld) shall be used per ACI 318-14 Sect. 25.5.2.1 for walls where 50% or less of the total reinforcement are spliced within the required lap length (Staggered Splices).

Wall: y (Y or N)

Splice Class: B (A or B per ACI 318-14 Sect. 25.5.2.1) Where l'd = 1.0 ld (Class A Splice) and ld = Flexural reinforcement development length (ACI 25.4.2.4)
= 1.3 ld (Class B Splice)

2. Bar Development Factors (ACI 318-14 Section 25.4.2.4)

a) Top Bar factor
Note: When horizontal reinforcement is placed such that more than 0.305 Meters of fresh concrete is cast below the develomet length or splice, Ψt = 1.3. For other situations, Ψt = 1.0

Ψt = 1.00 (ACI 25.4.2.4; other than top bars)

b) Coated Bar factor
Note: For epoxy-coated bars with cover less than 3 db or clear spacing less than 6 db, Ψe = 1.5. For all other epoxy-coated bars, Ψe = 1.2. For uncoated or galvanized reinforcement, Ψe = 1.0.

i) Concrete cover check

Limit: 3 db = 0.107 Meters where db = 0.036 Meters for No. 36 bars

Provided: d'c = 0.071 Meters (Clear cover to bar being developed, calculated next section…...)
NG

ii) Clear spacing check

Limit: 6 db = 0.215 Meters

Provided: ds = 0.269 Meters (Clear spacing provided, calculated next section…...)

OK

Note: Bars are not coated. = > Ψe = 1.00

iii) Product check
Limit: Ψt Ψe ≤ 1.7 => Ψe,max = 1.7 / Ψt Where Ψt = 1.00

Ψe,max = 1.70

Ψe = 1.00
c) Bar Size factor
Note: For No. 19 and smaller bars, Ψs = 0.8. for No. 22 and larger, Ψs = 1.0.
Ψs = 1.00

d) Concrete factor
Note: For LWC, λ = 0.75; for NWC, λ = 1.0
λ= 1.00 (ACI 318-14 Sect. 25.4.2.4)

3. Required Development and Splice Length

a) Concrete cover provided
Note: R25.4.2.3 defines the side (clear) cover as the concrete cover over the bar measured from the center of the bar being developed.
d'c = dc + dv + db/2 Where dc = 0.040 Meters (Concrete cover, adjusted)
dv = 0.013 Meters (Stirrup diameter)
db = 0.036 Meters (Bar diameter)

d'c = 0.071 Meters (Clear cover to bar being developed)

b) Clear Spacing provided

ds = S - db Where S = 0.305 Meters (Bar spacing provided)

db = 0.036 Meters for No. 36 bars

ds = 0.269 Meters (Clear spacing provided)
