Mechanical Splicing

Mechanical splicing is a method used to join two pieces of steel reinforcement bars (rebar) in construction. It involves using a specialized device, such as a mechanical coupling or connector, to hold the ends of the rebars together securely. This process ensures the structural integrity and continuity of the reinforcement within concrete structures. Mechanical splicing offers advantages like faster installation, easier adjustments, and reliable strength, especially when bar lengths are limited or direct welding is impractical. It is a common technique to ensure reinforcement behaves as a single, continuous element in reinforced concrete design.
