Offsetting of Column Rebar Splice By 65cm From The Center of Column Clear Height. Is it acceptable?
Offsetting of Column Rebar Splice By 65cm From The Center of Column Clear Height. Is it acceptable?
(OP)
I just started splicing rebars of column and found out that the rebar length is 6.65m and the available full length is 12.0m. So I just cut it into two so that the rebar to be spliced will be 6.0m only which is short by 65.0cm. So I want to offset the splice from the center by 65.0cm upward to satisfy the required length of splice which is 1.3 x Ld. Does it not adversely affect the structural integrity of the the building? Please any expert on this, kindly give your opinion.
Thank you so much

It sounds as though you may be proposing a splice length shorter than specified. If so, that absolutely would compromise the integrity of your structure. It might also pose a constructability problem if it would require suspending the upper column cage above the slab below.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
