Strength Capacity Characteristics of Welded and Mechanical Couple Spliced Steel Bars for Reinforcing Concrete

Jonathan Sasah, Charles K. Kankam, Jacqueline Obeng, Richard Akuaku, Vincent Akortia & Ernest K. Dapaah · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2026

Lapping, the commonest technique used to splice reinforcement bars, needs no special instrument or skill to execute. However, their usage may result in excessive section reinforcement, which may result in a non-ductile response of the spliced region. The structural performance of...
