Determine the required splice length for the longitudinal bars in the following tied column. Assume that all of the longitudinal bars are in compression and that you will use a contact lap splice. Do not incorporate a reduction in length due to ACI 318-14 Section 10.7.5.2.1.Column width, b = 20 in.Column thickness, h = 26 in.Clear cover to ties = 1.5 in.Number of longitudinal bars = 6Size of longitudinal bars = No. 8Size of ties = No. 4Concrete strength = 6,000 psiYield strength of longitudinal bars = 60,000 psiYield strength of ties = 40,000 psi
