Hooked Bar Anchorages and their Use in Noncontact Lap Splices
… tension forces across discontinuous reinforcing bars to allow for continuity of load path in structural elements. Lap splices of straight reinforcing bars present a number of disadvantages when used in connections of large precast concrete elements typical of bridge substructure. Most …

Effectiveness of Alternative Reinforcing Strategies for Non-Contact Hooked Bar Lap Splices
… achieve this, bridge engineers have been using hooked bars in the closure joints in lieu of straight bars, with the assumption that this would allow for shorter splice lengths. Though engineers in practice are doing this, design guidance does not exist. One research project by Coleman (2024) …
