..." splice continuous top bars at mid span and splice continuous bottom bars at or near supports. "...

ACI 318-11 covers this....

Use Mechanical Splicing devices and 3 pieces of rebar, so it really doesn't matter where you place the devices.

Take a look at Halfens "Bargrip" Coupler, as it doesn't involve threaded rebar ends, which I am not fond of, unless you have low stresses in the steel.

The ACI 318 book is a good one to look at--a lap splice is generally acceptable, if tied together. Units of measure are US, not metric, but conversion should be straightforward. I believe part of that has been used in www.daytonsuperior.com/docs/default.../ds_rebar_splicing_hb.pdf?...44.
The table on page 6 gives length of lap for various bar sizes and concrete strengths under two cases of bar spacing, with separate entries for top or bottom bars.

I seem to remember reading that if rebars are overlapped there is no need for couplers, as the bond strength, overlap length*bar circumference*bond shear strength, can exceed the allowable bar tensile load. But maybe somebody will say that's wrong.
