ReBar couplers replace the traditional lap joints of construction reinforcement bars. These mechanical couplers are typically used for larger diameter bars, as lap splicing is economically viable and simple to manage for smaller diameter bars.
Advantages
Performs like continuous reinforcement
Develops mechanical strength independent of concrete
Provides ductility (elasticity) in RCC structures independent of concrete
Offers strength during man made, seismic or other natural destruction events
Provides continuity
Best provision for grounding electrical current
Reduces ReBar congestion & Improves concrete flaw and consolidation
Provides greater flexibility in design options
Provides simplicity in detailing of reinforcement
Reinforcement becomes effortless
Higher steel-to-concrete ratio allows optimum sizing of RCC structural members
