BAR BENDING SCHEDULE FOR

RCC BEAM
General guidelines to be followed in preparing BBS:
• The bars should be grouped together for each structural unit, e.g. beam,
column, etc
• .In a building structure, the bars should be listed floor by floor
• For cutting and bending purposes schedules should be provided as
separate A4 sheets and not as part of the detailed reinforcement
drawings.
• The form of bar and fabric schedule and the shapes of bar used should be
in accordance with BS 8666
• It is preferable that bars should be listed in the schedule in numerical
order.
• It is essential that the bar mark reference on the label attached to a
bundle of bars refers uniquely to a particular group or set of bars of
defined length, size, shape and type used on the job.
• This is imperative as a bar mark reference can then point to a class of bar
characteristics. Also, this helps steel fixers and laborers keep track of the
type and number of bars needed to complete a certain work.
Bar Bending Schedule is used by the:

• Detailer
• person checking the drawing
• contractor who orders the reinforcement
• organization responsible for fabricating the
reinforcement
• steel fixer
• clerk of works or other inspector
• the quantity surveyor

a = 200
b = 4000 + (2 x 230) – (2 x 40) = 4380

Deduction :
(2 x dia x no. of bends) = 2 x 20 x 2
Cutting Length = (2x200) + (4380) – (2 x 20 x 2) = 4700 mm
BAR NO. 2

b = 4000 + (2 x 230) – (2 x 40) = 4380


No bends, hence, no deductions
Cutting Length = 4380 mm

a = 230 – (2x40) = 140
c = 375 – (2x40) = 285
Cutting Length:
(2A + 2C) + 24d = (2x 140 + 2x 285) + 24x8 = 1042 mm
No. of Stirrups: (4000/180) + 1 = 23.22 = 24
