BOND STRESSES
• the steel and the concrete should stick together, or bond, so that they will
act as a unit.
• If there’s no bonding between the two materials and if the bars are not
anchored at their ends, they will pull loose from the concrete. As a result,
the concrete beam will act as an unreinforced member and will be
subject to sudden collapse as soon as the concrete cracks.
• bond stresses are affected by the development of tension cracks in the
concrete.

BOND, DEVELOPMENT
LENGTHS AND SPLICES

BOND STRESSES
• The bonding of the reinforcing bars to the concrete is due to several
factors, including the chemical adhesion between the two materials, the
friction due to the natural roughness of the bars, and the bearing of the
closely spaced rib-shaped deformations on the bar surfaces against the
concrete.

• Deformed bars were introduced so


that there would also be a
resistance due to the bearing of the
concrete on the lugs or ribs of the
bars as well as the so-called shear-
friction strength of the concrete
between the lugs.

DEVELOPMENT LENGTHS FOR TENSION REINFORCING


• Location of Reinforcement
• Top Bars – Horizontal bars that have a least 12 in.[3] of fresh concrete
placed beneath them do not bond as well to concrete as do bars
placed nearer the bottom of the concrete.
• reinforcement that does not bond well to the concrete underneath
need to increase the development lengths
• Coating of Bars
• Epoxy-coated reinforcing bars are frequently used today to protect the
steel from severe corrosive situations, such as where deicing chemicals
are used.
• When bar coatings are used, bonding is reduced and development
lengths must be increased.

DEVELOPMENT LENGTHS FOR TENSION REINFORCING


• Sizes of Reinforcement
• development lengths for smaller bars with their larger surface bonding
areas (in proportion to their cross-sectional areas) are less than those
required for larger-diameter bars.
• Lightweight Aggregates
• use of this aggregates (expanded clay or shale, slag, etc.) generally
results in lower-strength concretes. Such concretes have lower splitting
strengths, and so development lengths will have to be larger.
• Spacing of Bars or Cover Dimensions, 𝑐𝑏

too small, the concrete may very well split

DEVELOPMENT LENGTHS FOR BUNDLED BARS


• When bundled bars are used, greater development lengths are needed
because there is not a “core” of concrete between the bars to provide
resistance to slipping
• The code states that splice and development lengths for bundled bars
are to be determined by first computing the lengths needed for the
individual bars and then by increasing those values by 20% for three-bar
bundles and 33% for four-bar bundles.
• A unit of bundled bars shall be treated as a single bar with an area
equivalent to that of the bundle and a centroid coinciding with that of
the bundle..

• According to Professor Charles Erdei:
• Web reinforcing participates in resisting bending moment
• Presence of inclined cracks increases the force in the tensile reinforcing
at all points in the shear span except in the region of maximum
moment.
• The measurement of 𝑙𝑑 must be from the shifted moment diagram
rather than from the basic one.
• it is nevertheless desirable to stagger the cutoff points of bars (and it is

• When some of the tensile bars are cut off at a point in a beam, a sudden
increase in the tensile stress will occur in the remaining bars.
• For this increase to occur, there must be a rather large increase in strain in
the beam. Such a strain increase quite possibly may cause large tensile
cracks to develop in the concrete.
• If large cracks occur, there will be a reduced beam cross section left to
provide shear resistance and thus a greater possibility of shear failure.

CUTTING OFF OR BENDING BARS


• TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF SHEAR FAILURE:
at least one of the following conditions must be met if bars are cut off
in a tension zone:
• 1. The shear at the cut off point must not exceed two-thirds of the design
shear strength, ∅𝑉𝑛 , in the beam, including the strength of any shear
reinforcing provided.
• 2. An area of shear reinforcing in excess of that required for shear and
3
torsion must be provided for a distance equal to 4 𝑑 from the cutoff point.

• 3. When #11 or smaller bars are used, the continuing bars should provide
twice the area of steel required for flexure at the cutoff point, and the
shear should not exceed three-fourths of the permissible shear.

• (3) where #14 or #18 bars are used because the code does not permit

BAR SPLICES IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS


• Welded splices:
• from the view of stress transfer, are the best splices, but they may be
expensive and may cause metallurgical problems.
• The result of metallurgical problem may be disastrous in high seismic
zones.
• The ACI Code states that it must be accomplished by welding the bars
together so that the connection will be able to develop at least 125% of
the specified yield strength of the bars.
• It is considered desirable to butt the bars against each other, particularly
for #7 and larger bars.
• Splices not meeting this strength requirement can be used at points
where the bars are not stressed to their maximum tensile stresses.

BAR SPLICES IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS


• Mechanical connectors
• usually consist of some type of sleeve splice, which fits over the ends of
the bars to be joined and into which a metallic grout filler is placed to
interlock the grooves inside the sleeve with the bar deformations.
• From the standpoint of stress transfer, good mechanical connectors are
next best to welded splices.
• They have the disadvantage that some slippage may occur in the
connections; as a result, there may be some concrete cracks in the area
of the splices.

BAR SPLICES IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS


• According to George F. Leyh:
1. Splicing of reinforcement can never reproduce exactly the same effect
as continuous reinforcing.
2. The goal of the splice provisions is to require a ductile situation where the
reinforcing will yield before the splices fail. Splice failures occur suddenly
without warning and with dangerous results.
3. Lap splices fail by splitting of the concrete along the bars. If some type of
closed reinforcing is wrapped around the main reinforcing (such as ties and
spirals), the chances of splitting are reduced and smaller splice lengths are
needed.
4. When stresses in reinforcement are reduced at splice locations, the
chances of splice failure are correspondingly reduced.

BAR SPLICES IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS


• Splices should be located away from points of maximum tensile stress.
• Not all of the bars should be spliced at the same locations, that is, the
splices should be staggered.
• Should two bars of different diameters be lap spliced, the lap length used
shall be the splice length required for the smaller bar or the development
length required for the larger bar, whichever is greater.
• The length of lap splices for bundled bars must be equal to the required
lap lengths for individual bars of the same size, but increased by 20% for
three-bar bundles and 33% for four-bar bundles.
• Individual splices within the bundles are not permitted to overlap each

TENSION SPLICES
• The code divides tension lap splices into two classes, A and B. The class of

• Class A splices are those where the reinforcing is lapped for a minimum
distance of 1.0𝑙𝑑 ≥ 300 𝑚𝑚 and where one-half or less of the reinforcing is
spliced at any one location.

permissible to lap splice #14 and #18 compression bars to #11 and smaller

• The code, with one exception, prohibits the use of lap splices for #14 or

permissible to connect them to footings by means of dowels of smaller
sizes with lap splices.
