Lapped joints are not always an appropriate means of connecting reinforcing bars. The use of laps
can be time consuming in terms of design and installation and can lead to greater congestion
within the concrete because of the increased amount of rebar used.
Ancon couplers can simplify the design and construction of reinforced concrete and reduce the amount of reinforcement required.
Lapped joints are dependent upon the concrete for load transfer. For this reason any degradation in the integrity of the concrete could significantly affect the performance of the joint. The strength of a mechanical splice is independent of the concrete in which it is located and will retain its strength despite loss of cover as a result of impact damage or seismic event.
The Ancon range of reinforcing bar couplers is the most comprehensive available and includes tapered threaded, parallel threaded and mechanically bolted couplers.
Rebar couplers. Rebar couplers are used in reinforced concrete structures to replace normal rebar lap joints. ... Each rebar coupler consists of a piece of rebar equipped with a thread and coupler sleeve at the right end as viewed in the direction of installation.
