Assalaam o Alliakum Everyone! I have a beam in smrf with depth 2' and clear span 11'. As per ACI codes I can not provide lap within 2h from joint face. In my case that would be 2*2=4' so I can only provide lap within middle 3' (11-4'-4'=3'). But the problem is that lap splice length comes out to be almost 4.5'. I have 4 bars at beam ends and 2 bars in middle. Can I use following strategy to avoid lap splices. Red part is columns and lines represent top bars. Its a top view of beam. 2 beams are shown merely for understanding purpose in reality there are 8 beams. As far as I know bar length is 40' and 8 beams + columns equals to almost 99' so I have to provide 2 lap splices. Moreover I can not use mechanical splices because structure is being made in Pakistan and I have not seen such practice here.
