Additional Notes:
1.) The development and lap splice methodology presented here was first introduced
in the 7th edition, 2015 interims.
2.) #14 and #18 bars may not be lapped according to Art. 5.10.8.4.2a.
3.) The user needs to ensure spacings related to the coating factor and reinforcement
confinement factor are consistent.
4.) According to ACI 318-11 Art. 12.15.1, the Excess Reinforcement Factor,
[(Asrequired) / (Asprovided)] should be set to 1.000 when determining lap length.The
user is responsible for ensuring this factor is set to 1.000.
5.) The Concrete Density Modification Factor was introduced in the 2016 Interims. This
factor replaced the Lightweight Concrete Factor present in the 2015 Interims. For
normal weight concrete this factor should be set to 1.000.
6.) Users need to address additional requirements when f'c > 10 ksi and fy > 60 ksi.
7.) See "2017 Figures" tab for figures related to Reinforcement Confinement Factor.
8.) Development lengths and lap lengths have been rounded up to the nearest whole inch.
Transv. reinf. area within s crossing plane of splitting, Atr (in2) = 0.620
Max. ctr-to-ctr spacing of transv. reinforcement, s (in) = 3.000
Number of bars developed along plane of splitting, n = 5
Transverse reinforcement index, ktr = 0.000
* It is conservative to enter "N" and thereby ignore the additional parameter (k tr = Atr = 0).
Article 5.10.8.4
Except as specified herein, lap splices of deformed bars in tension shall be Class B lap splices.
Class A lap splices may be used where:
(a) the area of reinforcement provided is at least twice that required by analysis over the entire
length of the lap splice; and
(b) one-half or less of the total reinforcement is spliced within the required lap splice length.
