Objective:
Advance the use of threaded mechanical couplers
and headed rebar technology in DoD protective
construction.
Goals:
• Demonstrate efficacy of rebar technology at larger
support rotations (2-6 degrees)
• Provide equivalent protection as conventional rebar
• Transfer technology to DoD construction via UFC

Reinforced Concrete with Couplers and Rebar with End Plates
• Reinforced Concrete for Blast-Resistant Design:
– Mass, strength, ductility, and penetration resistance
– Cost, Constructability, and Maintainability
• Advantages of Couplers and End Plates:
– Improved constructability
– Enhanced concrete quality
– Simplified rebar detailing
– Efficient load transfer mechanism
– Cost
• Previous Testing:
– HIPPO (2013)
– Rowell et al (2009) tested several couplers at high strain rates
– Young et al (2011) performed in-situ testing of two types of taper
thread couplers
– Holland and Wesevich (2012) performed in-situ tests with shear screw
couplers using a shock tube.

Discussion of Results
•Couplers performed well in regions of very high strain rates
•Wall with rebar with end plate detail had less overall
deformation and connection to roof remained intact under
significant joint opening
•Wall with hooked ends had more deformation and under
significant joint opening concrete crushed and hooks opened
up
•Cost savings of 5 to 10 percent using rebar with end plates and
threaded mechanical couplers
–Reduced volume of required steel
–Increased worker productivity during installation
–Reduced likelihood of required repairs due to poor concrete
consolidation stemming from rebar congestion
•System promotes constructability
