anyone knows if there's a clause in the ACI 318 that does not allow for splices in reinforcement in slender columns?
thanks a lot

It is some years I read ACI 318-95 but there being provisions enforcing meidheight splices for strong earthquake applications it seems strange to me that such clause exists...other thing is that splices have specifical conditions to be met.
 
I'm not aware of such a limit, but check your minimum clear bar spacings per sections 7.6.1 and 7.6.4.
 
never heard of such a clause, but again i would leave it for our especialists in concrete.
