Investigation of the Behavior of Corroded and Noncorroded Steel Bars with Mechanical Splices in Reinforced Concrete Structures

Abstract Mechanical splices enable continuity of reinforcement, yet their behavior under corrosion remains a concern. We experimentally compare spliced (threaded couplers) and unspliced bars in corroded and noncorroded conditions across common diameters (16–22 mm). An accelerated...
