PHYSICAL TESTING OF MECHANICALLY SPLICED REINFORCING BAR USING A SLEEVE WITH METAL FILLED PROCESS

THE USE OF A MECHANICAL REINFORCING STEEL BAR COUPLER UTILIZING A SLEEVE WITH METAL FILLER PROCESS IS DISCUSSED. JOINING LARGE SIZE (E.G. 14S AND 18S) REINFORCING STEEL BAR BY WELDING IS PRESENTLY THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE PROCEDURE ALLOWED BY THE CALIFORNIA DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS AS SPECIFIED IN TEST METHOD NO. CALIF. 601-D. AN APPRECIABLE ECONOMIC SAVINGS CAN BE REALIZED WHEN SUBSTITUTING MECHANICAL SPLICES IN PLACE OF WELDED SPLICES. HOWEVER, EXTREME CAUT MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE DESIGNER PRIOR TO ACCEPTING MECHANICAL SPLICES. /AUTHOR/
