10.7.5.2 Lap splices R10.7.5.2 Lap splices

In columns subject to moment and axial force, tensile


stresses may occur on one face of the column for moderate
and large eccentricities as shown in Fig. R10.7.5.2. If such
stresses occur, 10.7.5.2.2 requires tension splices to be used.
The splice requirements have been formulated on the basis
that a compression lap splice has a tensile strength of at least
0.25fy. Therefore, even if columns bars are designed for
compression according to 10.7.5.2.1, some tensile strength
is inherently provided.
