What is the difference between a development length and a tension lap splice?

(OP)
If you have a continuous slab and you provide the required development. Do you have to provide the additional 1.3*ld if the bars overlap from the opposite span?





RE: What is the difference between a development length and a tension lap splice?
Per section 12.15.2, if the splices are staggered and you have at least twice the amount of steel needed for moment capacity, you can use a class A splice, which uses 1.0*ld.
