The limited lengths of reinforcing bars have been commonly found in the practical construction of most reinforced concrete structures. The required length of a bar may be longer than the available stock of steel length. For maintaining desired continuity of the reinforcement in almost all reinforced concrete structures, some reinforcing bars should be carefully spliced. In the case of long flexural beam, bar installers end up with two or even more pieces of steel that must be spliced together to accomplish the desired steel length. An experimental study was conducted to investigate flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams utilizing a variety lap splices of reinforcing steel bars under two-point loading. Five variations of lap splices of reinforcing steel bars positioned at midspan of tensile reinforcement of the beam were investigated. Welded joints and overlapped splices were used to construct the variation of lap splices of reinforcing steel bars. The general trend in crack pattern, the load deflection characteristics and the mode of failure of flexural beams under two-point loading were also observed. The flexural strength comprising load-displacement response, flexural crack propagation, displacement ductility is briefly discussed in this paper.

In order to investigate the mechanisms and the factors to govern the brittle fracture initiation during the fatigue crack propagation at low temperatures, fracture toughness tests under wide range of loading rates, fatigue tests at low temperatures and fracture toughness tests after having been given pre-loading were performed on steels and weld junctions. The fatigue fracture toughness Kfc was estimated as equivalent as the fracture toughness Kc under the monotonic tensile loading if they were compared at the same loading rate, since the residual stress due to the cyclic loading was less effective on the brittle fracture initiation. The calculated fatigue life based on Paris’s formula taken into consideration of the crack closure phenomena showed a good one-by-one agreement with the observed fatigue life up to the brittle fracture initiation. Therefore, a design curve was preliminarily drawn to determine the fatigue life at low temperatures.
