REBAR COUPLER, the latest technology for rebar joints

Rebar Coupler (Type-2) is a SAFE (considering earthquake induced forces) and ECONOMICAL (costs
less than overlap) alternative to overlaps in steel reinforcement bar in construction concrete.

Rebar Lapping Rebar Coupler

The lapping relies on the concrete around The rebar coupler is superior in its load transfer as
it to transfer the load. Poor concrete it creates a direct connection between the 2 bars
strength will then compromise the load that is similar in its behaviors to a continuous
carrying capacity and possibilities for reinforcing bar. As per ACI 318, it is recommended
lapping failure during Earthquake. to use Type-2 Coupler for achieving structural
integrity against Earthquake induced forces.

Coupler offers builder the following benefit:


1. Improve structural integrity which will prevent collapse the structure during earthquake. (Ref: ACI
318 Ch-21)
2. No reliance on concrete for load transfer.
3. Reduce wastage of rebar, so it will reduce cost.
4. Reduce rebar congestion.
5. Avoid damaging the formwork. 6. Save time.
