Join spliced or adjacent rebar instances with a coupler.
Place a rebar coupler between arc bars
To place a rebar coupler between two arc bars, the two bars need to have the same center.
- Duplicate and customize the exiting end treatments in the Project Browser.
- Use rebar couplers to connect tangent arc-shaped bars in circular concrete structures:
- The bar ends must be in the coupler tolerance of 10 diameters in order to be connected.
- Tangent arc bars that do not have the same center can only be connected if the coupler is not cutting any part of either bar (they remain in the tangent position).

Tip: To connect bars that are not aligned, add a coupler to one of the bars and change the end treatment to the other bar, so that it can be fabricated for the coupler connection.
