Systems, devices, and methods for wall to floor construction

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for making a wall-to-floor construction that is self-supporting. The method includes installing a splice device onto an end of a first rebar for the concrete slab; positioning a portion of a second rebar of the vertical structure into the cavity, the splice device being supported by the second rebar; forming the concrete slab, wherein the first concrete slab has contained within its material the first rebar. After forming the concrete slab, filling a fill material into the cavity through one of the inlet and the outlet. The splice device securely fixes the second rebar in the cavity and couples the first rebar to the second rebar.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for making a wall-to-floor construction including a concrete slab and a vertical structure, the method comprising:
 installing a splice device onto an end of a first rebar for the concrete slab, wherein the splice device comprises a cylindrical body comprising a first bore at a first end, a second bore at a second end, an inlet, an outlet, and a cavity;   positioning a portion of a second rebar of the vertical structure into the cavity, the splice device being supported by the second rebar;   forming the concrete slab, the first concrete slab comprising the first rebar;   after forming the concrete slab, filling a fill material into the cavity through one of the inlet and the outlet; and   in response to the fill material curing in the cavity, the splice device securely fixes the second rebar in the cavity and couples the first rebar to the second rebar.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first bore comprises one or more threads formed on an inner surface of the first bore, the one or more threads being configured to engage corresponding threads on the first rebar in response to installing the first rebar into the first bore. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the splice device is configured to receive the portion of the second rebar in the cavity, the second bore permitting the second rebar to extend therethrough into the cavity and towards the first end. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein forming the first concrete slab further comprises:
 pouring the first concrete slab so the first end of the splice device is embedded in the concrete slab.
