In reinforced concrete construction splices between the ends of bars are required to extend their length. Splices transferring stress are generally lapped, but may also be welded or joined with mechanical devices. Splices should be placed, wherever possible, away from points of high stress and preferably should be staggered. Laps in fabric may be layered or nested to maintain the lapped bars in one plane. Good detailing should avoid spalling of the concrete in the neighborhood of the splice.
