Combined mechanical couplers and special-length-priority algorithm for reducing rebar consumption and cutting waste of beam reinforcement

The surging demand for reinforced concrete buildings has led to excessive consumption of rebars, resulting in substantial rebar-cutting waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Various approaches have been explored to mitigate this issue, including lap-splice optimization and the use of special-length re...
