Acceptable Reinforcing Steel Splices for Blast Resistant Concrete Structures Designed in Accordance with TM 5-1300, "Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions"

Abstract

TM 5-1300, "Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions", provides the structural engineering criteria for the design of blast resistant concrete structures to meet the performance requirements specified in DOD 6055.9-STD, "DOD Ammunition and Explosives. According to TM 5-1300, mechanical reinforcing splices "must be capable of developing the ultimate dynamic strength of the reinforcement without reducing its ductility". This paper discusses the ability of existing mechanical splices to comply with TM 5-1300 and provides recommendations for revised guidance to supplement the existing criteria.
