Reinforcing bar splice requirements for concrete beams and columns at supports. Bars extend straight unless a standard hook is required, with clear spacing maintained at one-and-one-half inches or wired in contact. Lap splices utilize development length Ld or Class A splices with minimum lengths of twelve bar diameters or twelve inches. Offset reinforcing bars transition within a maximum slope of one to six.
