Bar bending also circumvents the wastage of steel reinforcement (5 to 10%) and thus project cost is saved significantly. This improves quick implementation at site and minimizes construction time and cost as fewer workers are needed for bar bending. Once bar bending schedule is prepared, cutting and bending of reinforcement is performed at factory and shipped to job site. When bar bending schedule is applied along with reinforcement detailed drawing, it makes the quality of construction superior.
In case of bending, bar length will be raised at the bending positions. While generating bar schedules, it is important to take proper care about length. It includes all the details essential for fabrication of steel like bar mark, bar type and size, number of units, length of a bar, shape code, distance between stirrups (column, plinth, beam) etc. This information can be used for making an estimate of quantities. This table sums up all the necessary particulars of bars ranging from diameter, shape of bending, length of each bent and straight portions, angles of bending, total length of each bar, and number of each type of bar.
It is the method of bending reinforcing steel into shapes which are important for reinforced concrete construction.īar bending schedule alias schedule of bars refers to a list of reinforcement bars, a specified RCC work item that is shown in a tabular form for a smooth view.
