Mechanical Coupler as an Alternative Rebar Splicing: A Review

The world is searching for innovative technologies that can lessen the hardship of traditional work. Construction is one of the industries in search of new technology that can be used in every aspect of its operations, as well as cutting-edge technology for a wide range of construction materials. Using a mechanical coupler is one of the advancements in building materials. Utilizing mechanical couplers in construction is a creative and potentially industry-altering innovation. By generating a more robust and practical link between reinforcing bars, these devices could increase the safety and durability of construction projects. Furthermore, since there is a limited length of available reinforcing bars on the market, the mechanical coupler provides an alternative to the traditional splicing method. One of the study's goals is to determine the benefits and disadvantages of using this mechanical coupler in the building. In addition, this paper illustrates a discussion of the many applications and types of mechanical couplers.
