In recent years, the need for a more efficient splicing system is becoming more apparent as a result of the increased construction complexities and design requirements. The use of reinforcement rebar couplers can simplify the design and construction of reinforced concrete and reduce the amount of reinforcement required.
ADVANTAGES
• Congestion of rebars with lapped joints, affecting the integrity of the structure. This can be avoided by using couplers.
• With the decreasing size of concrete sections, floor spaces are maximized thus increase the value of the building especially in prime development areas.
• The transfer of load with lapped joints is entirely dependent upon the bonding of the surrounding concrete. Degradation of concrete could affect the performance of the joint. With the use of couplers to connect starter bars, damages to the formwork can be avoided.
• Material and cost savings as less steel is used.
• Greener and ‘lighter’ building.
