5. Inspection and Quality Control

  1. Search the PDF for "lap splice #7". You find Table 4-3.
  2. Determine Class of splice: Based on steel grade (60 ksi) and percentage of bars spliced (50%), you find Class B.
  3. Length calculation: Class B for #7 is 37 bar diameters. 37 x 0.875 inches = 32.4 inches.
  4. Verify cover: Chapter 5 shows that for a 12-inch mat, #7 bars need chairs that are 3 inches high (bottom cover) plus 3 inches (top cover from the top surface) – wait, no—you need the distance between top and bottom steel.
