INFLUENCE OF COATED STIRRUPS ON OVER OVERLAPPED RLAPPED SPLICE STRENGTH OF EPOXY COATED DEFORMED BARS


INFLUENCE OF COATED STIRRUPS ON OVER OVERLAPPED SLAPPED SPLICE STRENGTH OF EPOXY COATED DEFORMED BARS

ABSTRACT.

 This paper investigates the influence of coated stirrups on overlapped splice strength of epoxy coated deformed bars. Six (6) beams of length 2550mm Image 300mm Image with lapped splice bars in constant moment region were cast and tested. The beams where cast with 16mm high yield diameter bars for both compression and Tension zone, 8mm high yield stirrups were used over the lap splices.

The ultimate moment from the test were used to determine the stress developed in the bars. The ratios of the test bond stresses and bond stress values using the tensile reinforcement yield stressImage , were used for comparison of the parameter under investigation. Coated and uncoated Transverse reinforcement was found to increase the splice strength of epoxy coated deformed bars, but uncoated transverse reinforcement was found to increase the splice strength of epoxy coated bars more than coated transverse reinforcement.
