Best Answer

A class A splice is defined in ACI 318 Section 12.15. There are two types of splice (A and B) which define the length of the splice as a multiple of the tensile development length (ld) Class A denotes a splice that has 1.0 x ld of overlap. A class B splice has 1.3 x ld. Class B is required except where splices are kept out of critical ares (see the code).

What are concrete beams for?

As I would interpret the question, I would refer to the nature of reinforcing to be placed within the concrete. Often in large beams, the reinforcing steel may be made up separately in "cages" and set in place for the concrete pour. The reinforcing may be comprised of shear, bending, torsional, and specialized support components.

What is the weight of one square meter of a reinforced concrete slab?

The weight can only be determined if the exact weight of the reinforcement, as well as the exact displacement of the reinforcing is known. Thus the weight should be 1 sq meter x thickness of the concrete minus the exact displacement of the reinforcing, plus the weight of the reinforcing. The weight per cubic meter of concrete is 2450 kg.
