PART-A
Definition: - Bar Bending Schedule (BBS)
In Civil Engineering Bar Bending Schedule is the important part of Estimation chart. In the Bar
Bending schedule provides the reinforcement (steel) calculation for reinforcement of concrete
column, beam and slab cutting length and also use to find the types of bends of length which
we provide in steel structures.
This process of listing the location, type and size, number of and all other details is called
“Scheduling”. In context of Reinforcement bars, it is called bar scheduling. In short, Bar
Bending Schedule is a way of organizing rebars for each structural unit, giving detailed
reinforcement requirements.

BBS is used in finding cutting length of steel and total weight of steel per unit area. and we can
make the bar bending schedule in MS-Excel.

General Procedure to be followed in Preparing BBS

The bars should be grouped together for each structural unit, e.g. beam, column, Footing etc.
In a building structure, the bars should be listed floor by floor or according to need.
For cutting and bending purposes schedules should be provided as separate A4 sheets and not
as part of the detailed reinforcement drawings.
It is preferable that bars should be listed in the schedule in numerical order.
It is essential that bundle of bars refers uniquely to a particular group or set of bars of defined
length, size, shape and type used on the job.

Advantages of Bar Bending Schedule

Cutting Length & Bending of Reinforcement Bar can be done.
Bar Bending Schedule avoids wastage of steel reinforcement (5% to 10%) & thus saves
project cost.
Bar Bending Schedule provides Better Estimation of reinforcement Steel requirement for
each and every Structure Member
it is very much useful during Auditing of Reinforcement & provides check or Theft &
misappropriation.
It enables easy and fast preparation of Bills of construction work for clients & contractors.

Why Steel is Used in Concrete
Reinforced concrete is a composite material made up of Plain Concrete reinforced with rebars
i.e. Reinforcing Bars. Plain Concrete possesses very good compressive strength but is weak in
tensile strength. As a result, a plain concrete beam fails suddenly as soon as the tension cracks
start to develop due to load.

Hence in order to avoid failure of plain concrete it should be provided with tensile strength.
This is possible by inducing rebars into plain concrete. Hence, it is reinforced (i.e. embedded)
with rebars.

The reinforcement bars transfers load between the concrete and rebar. The direct stress
(tensile/pull or compressive/push) transfer takes place from concrete to rebar interface by
means of bond between them i.e. due to friction

As rebars imparts tensile strength to concrete, metals used for rebars should possess good
tensile strength. This will avoid cracking of concrete in tension. Though there are many metals
like Aluminum, Cast Iron, copper available for reinforcing concrete, Steel is most widely used
as reinforcing material in reinforced concrete. It is because the thermal Expansion coefficient
of both materials are approximately same so the bonding between concrete and steel is more.

What is TMT BAR
TMT bars or Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars are high-Strength Reinforcement
bars having a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The very first step of the manufacturing
process involves passing the steel wires through a rolling mill stand. Thereafter, these rolled
steel wires are again passed through the Temp core water cooling system. While passing the
wires through the water-cooling system, the water pressure is optimized. The sudden
quenching and drastic change in temperature toughen the outer layer of the steel bar, thus
making it super tough and durable. Once this process is over, the TMT bars are subject to
atmospheric cooling. This is done in order to equalize the temperature difference between
the soft inner core and the tough exterior. Once the TMT bar cools down, it slowly turns into
a ferrite-pearlite mass. The inner core remains soft giving the TMT bar great tensile strength
and elongation point.

This design is unique to the TMT bars and gives superior ductility to the bars. Also, this unique
manufacturing technique and the absence of Cold stress make this bar corrosion- resistant and
boost its weld ability

ADVANTAGES OF TMT BARS

• Higher strength with better elongation
• Excellent Weld-ability
• Resistance to fire hazards
• Excellent Ductility
• Higher Fatigue Strength
• Easy workability at site
• Better Bonding Strength
• Better Corrosion Resistance
• Achieves better results than BIS Standards

 Overlap Length / Lap Length in Reinforcement
The standard length of Rebar is 12m. Suppose the height of the column is 20 m.
To purvey this requirement, two bars of length 12m and 8m are overlapped
(joined) with overlap length.

Overlap Length for compression members (columns) = 50d

The Overlap Length for tension members (beams) = 40d

[d is the Diameter of the bar]

Overlap Length in
Compression 50D

REBAR

COUPLER

Results of the study reveal that the use of rebar couplers in place of lapping is
considerably cost effective for larger diameter bars such as 32 or 40 mm bars.
Other than the cost, the other obvious advantage of couplers is avoiding
congestion of rebars which may occur at a lap zone, now a day moistly use
coupler in construction.

What is clear cover in concrete
The Clear Cover is the Distance measured From the Exposed concrete Surface (without Plaster
and Other Finishes) to the nearest Surface of reinforced bar.

They were made up of 1:3 ratio of cement mortar. Cover block should be immersed in water
for 14 days to get the maximum strength. All the beams, column, slab, were checked to ensure
adequate cover blocks are provided to the bottom and sides of the reinforcement. Main bars of
the columns were adjusted to ensure the covering requirements before concreting. Chair of
correct height were used to maintain the require gap between top and bottom reinforcement
nets and cover blocks were also provided to bottom reinforcement

In the design of reinforced concrete structures, the reinforcement provided is embedded in the
concrete up to a particular distance from the face of the member because of the following main
reasons:

• To provide protection to reinforcement from corrosion.

• To provide fire resistance to reinforcement.
• To provide sufficient embedded depth so that reinforcement develops the requisite
stress.
This distance is measured in different ways and known by different names:

1. Clear cover: This is the distance from the face of the member to the outermost face
of the reinforcement including shear or torsion Stirrups or links.
2. Nominal cover: This is the same thing as clear cover albeit with a different name.
This term is used by the code. It is the distance measured from the face of the member
to the outermost face of the reinforcement including Stirrups or links. It is the
dimension shown in drawings and detailing.
3. Effective cover: This is the distance measured from the face of the member to the
center of area of the main reinforcement, that is tension or compression
reinforcement. This is the dimension usually used for design calculations

Diameter of Reinforcement Bar Availability
Steel bars does not vary according to the structure. They vary according to loading
conditions imposed on the structure. What-ever the structure it is Footing, Raft,
Columns, Beam and Slab The most commonly used bars and available in shelf at all
times are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm,12mm,16mm,20mm,25mm are available easily outside
also. In most of the buildings we use max 25mm. only in some places 32mm also
available. greater dia. like 64mm and 128mm has to be ordered specially from steel
plant for manufacturing unit.

Procedure to Find Cutting Length of Main Bar or
Distribution Bar in mesh :-

Main Bar: The Main Bar in Reinforced Concrete Structures is the

Reinforcement Provided in the direction in which Moment is very high or
dominates.

Main Reinforcement Bar is normally used at the bottom of the slab.

Higher Dimension Bar is used as Main Reinforcement. (12/16 mm)
Main Reinforcement Bar is used to transfer the bending moment to beam.

Distribution Bar12mm Main Bar16mm

Breadth 5mtr

10 mtr

Cutting Length Of Distribution Bar With Hook: 9d hook

Length of hook =9d where d is the diameter of bar. if both side Providing then
Total Length of Distribution Bar = L+9d(one side)+9d(another side)-(2 90°bend)
Now for example. Dia of bar "d”=12mm
So 9d=9x12=108mm we Convert into Meter (108/1000)=.108 mtr
For bend ( 2 x 2 x d) = (2 No. x 2 x 12) = 48mm = (48/1000) = .048 mtr
Total Length of Distribution Bar = 10+(9d)+(9d)-bend
= 10+.108+.108 - .048 = 10.168 mtr

Cutting Length Of Main Bar With Bend : if Bend Providing Both Side

(9d to 16d)

L=5mtr

Length of Bend = 9 d to 16 d
Where d is the Diameter of bar.
Total Length of Main Bar = L+10d+10d –(2 x 2d)
Now For Example, d= 16mm then
So 10d = 10x 12=120mm We convert into meter (120/1000)=.120 mtr
For bend ( 2 x 2 x d) = (2 No. x 2 x 16) = 64mm = (48/1000) = .064 mtr
Total Length of Main Bar = 5 + .120 + .120 - .064
= 5.176 mtr

longitudinal bars (main bars) of column in position.

Diamond stirrups are nothing but rhombus shaped stirrup.

Cutting length of Rhombus (Diamond) stirrup:

Procedure to be followed for calculating cutting length of Rhombus (Diamond)

stirrup:

Step 1: Mark ‘a’& ‘b’ in given structural drawing of stirrup.

Step 2: Calculate any one side of rhombus, H using hypotenuse formula. (refer
Figure - 2)

Step 3: Calculate the cutting length of rhombus stirrup.

Calculation part:

600mm

500mm

Size of column = 600 x 500mm

Diameter of stirrup bar = 8mm
Stirrups hook = 10 d
Clear cover = 40mm
No. of 90˚ Bend = 3 & No. of 135˚ Bend = 2

H

a = 600 – 2 x clear cover = 600- 2 x 40 = 520mm

b = 500 – 2 x clear cover = 500- 2 x 40 = 420mm

By using Hypotenuse Formula,(Pythagoras theorem)

• H = √((a/2)² +( b/2)²)

H = √((a/2)² + (b/2)²) = √((520/2)² + (420/2)²)

H = 334.21 mm

Now,Cutting length of stirrup

= 4 x H + {2 x 10 x d} (hook) – {3 x 2 x d }(90˚ bend) – {2 x 3 x d }(135˚ bend)

= 4 x 334.21 + {2x10x8} – {3x2x8} – {2x3x8}

= 1400.84mm = 1.4m

Given....

From the Diagram,

Clear Cover = 40mm

Column Diameter (D) = 600 mm
Stirrups = 8mm,, Hook Length = 10d

Mark c/c distance of stirrup (d)

d= (Total Diameter of column – both side cover – both side stirrup half dia.)

d= (600 - 40 – 40 – 4 – 4) = 512mm c/c

Cutting Length = Circumference of stirrup + (2 × hook length) - (2×90°bend)

= π d + (2 x 10 x 8) – (2 x 2 x 8)
= 3.14 x 512 + (160) – (32)
= 1608 – 160 – 32
= 1736 mm = 1.736 Mtr.

 Procedure to find out cut length of Bent up Bar
As a site engineer, you need to calculate the cutting length of bars according to the slab
dimensions and give instructions to the bar benders.

For small area of construction, you can hand over the reinforcement detailing to the bar
benders. They will take care of cutting length. But beware, that must not be accurate.
Because they do not give importance to the bends and cranks. They may give some extra
inches to the bars for the bends which are totally wrong. So it is always recommended
that as a site engineer calculate the cutting length yourself.

Where,
Diameter of the bar = 12 mm
Clear Cover = 25 mm
Clear Span (L) = 8000
Slab Thickness = 200 mm
Development Length (Ld) = 40d
Cutting Length = Clear Span of Slab + (2 x Development Length) +
(2 x inclined length) – (45° bend x 4) – (90° bend x 2)

Inclined length = 0.42 D

As you can see there are four 45°bends at the inner side (1,2,3 & 4) and two 90° bends
( a,b ).
45° = 1d ; 90° = 2d
45° bend 2

90° bend 1 d

Cutting Length = Clear Span of Slab + (2 X Ld) +(2 x 0.42D) – (1d x 4) - (2d x 2)

 Slab thick.200mm

Ld

Span 8000mm

Column

Cutting Length = Clear Span of Slab + (2 X Ld) +(2 x 0.42D) – (1d x 4) – (2d x 2)
[BBS Shape Codes]
Where,
d = Diameter of the bar.
Ld = Development length of bar.
D = Height of the bend bar.
In the above formula, all values are known except ‘D’.
So we need to find out the value of “D”.
D = Slab Thickness – (2 x clear cover) – (diameter of bar)
= 200 – (2 × 25) – 12
= 138 mm

Now, putting all values in the formula

Cutting Length = Clear Span of Slab + (2 x Ld) +(2 x 0.42D) – (1d x 4) – (2d x 2)
= 8000 + (2 x 40 x 12) +(2 x 0.42 x 138) – (1 x 12 x 4) – (2 x 12 x 2)
Cutting Length = 8980 mm or 8.98 m.

 How to calculate Cutting length of Chair Bar in Raft Footing .

Top & Bot. 1200 mm

Main/Dist Bar
@ 16mm@150c/c

Cover 50mm

Given :-
Raft Footing
Height of footing = 1.2 m
Main bars & dist. Bar = 16 mm dia @150 mm c/c Top or Bottom.
Clear Cover = 50 mm
Cutting length of chair bar = ?

Step 1 : Find out the height of chair bar.

Chair Height =Footing Height - [(Upper + Lower Side Cover) + (Upper side main & dist. bar dia +
lower side main bar dia)]

Chair Height = 1200 mm – [(50+50) + (16+16+16)] mm = 1052 mm or 1.052 m

Step 2 : Head of chair bar = 50 x d (dia= 12 mm)

So, 50 x 12 = 600 (the diameter of bar should not be under 12 mm)

Step 3 : Chair bar leg = 2 nos c/c distance + 50 mm (bars which are located at bottom)
= 2 x 150 mm + 50 mm = 350 mm

Cutting length of chair = (1head + 2 height + 2 leg) _4 bend of 90°

Now, the cutting length will be calculated as follow

=[600 + (1052 x 2) + (350 x 2)] – (4 x 2 x 12) mm (as the chair is bent at 4 sides..4x2d)
= 3308 mm or 3.308 mtr

Step 1 – Find the Cutting length of Vertical Bar(20mm)

Cutting Length of Vertical bar 20 mm= (Length of bar Below Plinth Beam)+(Plinth Beam)
+ (Full Length of Bar Above Plinth beam)

First we Calculate Ful Length Of Bar below Plinth Level

Length of bar Below Plinth Beam
= (Column L) + (Footing Height – Clear Cover – Main bar – Dist.Bar) + (Column Height below Plinth)
= 300 + ( 450 – 50 – 20 – 20 ) + 1200 mm
= 300 + 360 + 1200 mm
= 1860 mm = 1.860 Meter

Second we Calculate Full Length Of Bar Above Plinth Level.

= (G.F + 1st + 2nd + 3rd Floor Height Internally) + (Slab Thickness G.F + 1st + 2nd) + ( 4TH Slab Ld)
=(4 x 3000 ) + ( 3 x 125 ) + (50 x 20)
=12000 mm + 375 mm+ 1000 mm
=13375mm=13.375 Meter.

Cutting Length of Vertical bar 20 mm= (Length of bar Below Plinth Beam)+(Plinth Beam)
+ (Full Length of Bar Above Plinth beam)
= 1860 mm + 300 mm + 13375 mm

= 15535 mm = 15.535 Meter

15.335m > 12m i.e. provide Overlap According to Practically Requirment...if we will provide
1 lap only then..problem face in handling of vertical bar,so Overlap Provide Floor to Floor For
Easily Handling and Perfection in Alignment of bar..

= 15535 + ( 4 x 50 x d)

= 15535 + ( 4 x 50 x 20)

= 15535 + 4000

Cutting Length of Vertical bar 20 mm= 19535 mm or 19.535 Meter

OverLap Note Point – 1. Splice Located minimum but away from column & Beam
Junction.this portion left Atleast L/4 portion ,
2. Laps should be staggered and alternate.
3.Laps should not be parallel to each other.

First we Calculate Ful Length Of Bar below Plinth Level
Length of bar Below Plinth Beam
= (Column L) + (Footing Height – Clear Cover – Main bar – Dist.Bar) + (Column Height below Plinth)
= 300 + ( 450 – 50 – 20 – 20 ) + 1200 mm
= 300 + 360 + 1200 mm
= 1860 mm = 1.860 Meter

Second we Calculate Ful Length Of Bar Above Plinth Level.

= (G.F + 1st + 2nd + 3rd Floor Height Internally) + (Slab Thickness G.F + 1st + 2nd) + ( 4TH Slab Ld)
=(4 x 3000 ) + ( 3 x 125 ) + (50 x 16)
=12000 mm + 375 mm+ 800 mm
=13175mm=13.175 Meter.

Cutting Length of Vertical bar 16 mm= (Length of bar Below Plinth Beam)+(Plinth Beam)
+ (Full Length of Bar Above Plinth beam)

= 1860 mm + 300 mm + 13175 mm

= 15335 mm = 15.335 Meter
15.335m > 12m i.e. provide Overlap According to Practically Requirment...if we will provide
1 lap only then..problem face in handling of vertical bar,so Overlap Provide Floor to Floor
For Easily Handling and Perfection in Alignment of bar..

= 15335 + ( 4 x 50 x d)
= 15335 + ( 4 x 50 x 16)
= 15335 + 3200
Cutting Length of Vertical bar 16 mm= 18535 mm or 18535 Meter

Cutting length of 20mm/16mm Vertical Bar

Cutting Length of Vertical bar 20 mm 19535 mm or 19.535 Meter
Cutting Length of Vertical bar 16 mm 18535 mm or 18.535 Meter (diff in overlap)

Step 3 – Cutting Length of Stirrups

Length of One Hook = 9d

Calculation of A = 600 – 40 -40 – 4 – 4 = 512 mm
Calculation of B = 300 – 40 -40 – 4 – 4 = 212 mm
Cutting length of Stirrup = Perimeter of stirrup + No. Of Hook – Bend Deduction90/135deg
= 2(A+B) + (2x9d Hook)-(3x2d 90Deg Bend)-(2x3d 135 Deg Bend)
