Abstract
Splicing is used to join reinforcement bar to transfer the force from one bar to the joining bar. Any rebar longer than standard length will need to be spliced. Lapping of rebar has been consider long an effective, economical splicing method, but today builders are forced to consider alternative due to more demanding concrete design, the mechanical splice has become important area of interest because of it’s monolithical behaviour and pace of execution .This paper shows difference between lap splicing and mechanical splicing and also focus use of mechanical splicing as primary alternative to lap splices .Tensile and flexural test are carried out on rebar and reinforcement beam respectively .In this project we are casting beam having lap splice and mechanical coupler for joining of two reinforcement bars. Beams were casted and flexural test along with tensile were carried out.
