Abstract:This paper reports the effect of transverse reinforcement on tensile reinforcement splice strength of epoxy coated reinforcing bars. Thirty six (36) full size beams of varying lengths and sectional dimensions with lap spliced bars in constant moment region were cast and tested in a four point bending system. The beams were cast with three high yield diameter bars, namely 16 mm, 20 mm and 28 mm. 8 mm and 10 mm diameter high yield stirrups were introduced over the lap in an attempt to study the effect of stirrup… Show more
