AOA, i am curious about relation between (splice length and development in RCC Beam Columns and footing) and earthquake zone. if i am using #8 bars then for fc'=3ksi and fy=60 ksi the development length is 71 inch and splice length is 92 inch (almost 7.5 ft). now normally overall story height is 10 ft minus beam depth of 1.5 ft , the net column height remains 8.5 ft . so actually i am providing 2 times of the actual reinforcement in columns. this seems reasonable for earthquake zone 3 and 4 where severe earthquake can occur. for seismic zone 2A and 2B this seems very over design . is there any material available for splice length , overlap and development length zone wise.. thanks

How can I calculate the required splice length for column? What will be effect on the structure, if someone on site provide the column splice length less than the required length? Will it create problem in load transfer or moment or stress? What is the minimum column splice length can be provided? (With ACI Code Reference) Regards,
