Abstract:
An assembly of concrete structural elements includes a precast concrete lower column, a precast concrete column capital supported on an upper end of the lower column, at least one precast concrete beam supported by the precast column capital, at least one slab supported by the at least one beam, an upper column extending above the lower column, and a poured concrete lap splice connecting the lower and upper columns, a volume of the lap splice being at least partially defined by the lower column, the column capital, the beam, the slab and the upper column. A method of making a lap splice comprises embedding splice reinforcement in each of opposed end of a pair of concrete structural elements such that the splice reinforcement extends out of each approximately as far as the structural reinforcement and overlaps the structural reinforcement within the opposed ends.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of making a lap splice between opposed ends of adjacent concrete structural elements having structural reinforcement extending therethrough and out the opposed ends thereof, the method comprising:\n embedding splice reinforcement in each of the opposed ends such that the splice reinforcement extends out of each end approximately as far as the structural reinforcement and overlaps the structural reinforcement within the opposed ends; bringing the structural elements together by overlapping a portion of splice reinforcement extending out of the respective opposed ends such that the ends of the structural reinforcement and the splice reinforcements extending from the respective opposed ends overlap; and pouring concrete at a connection space between the opposed ends of the adjacent concrete structural elements.
