Rebar lap splice lenght
Rebar lap splice lenght
(OP)
Is there a "rule of thumb" for determining the lap splice length of certain size rebar in foundations? ...Just to prime the pump here, I've heard 30 diameters, but I'd like to confirm this. Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

There is no real valid rule of thumb such as X bar diameters.

No more rules of thumb.
However, you can prepare a table of the most frequently occurring situations and use that to speed your work.

My question here is for my own education, the work I've done is already out the door (where I used the 30x dia.s). The closer I can get to a "correct" design and call-out the least amount of time and effort it'll take the experts to change ...or bill my company to do so. So I wasn't fishing for "free engineering" ...just some general knowledge (which I have discovered isn't so general!) ...AGAIN thanks to all for the input!
