Minimum requirements for lap splices in reinforced concrete members, stated in
building codes of TS-500 and ACI-318, have a certain factor of safety. These
standards have been prepared according to research results conducted previously and
they are being updated according to results of recent studies. However the reliability
of lap splices for minimum requirements needs to be investigated. For this purpose, 6
beam specimens were prepared according to minimum provisions of these standards.
The test results were investigated by analytical procedures and also a parametric
study was done to compare two standards. For smaller diameter bars both standards
give safe results. Results showed that the minimum clear cover given in TS500 is
insufficient for lap spliced bars greater than or equal to 26 mm diameter.
