Reinforcement Schedule: The Art of Rebar

The document discusses reinforcement in concrete structures. It explains that concrete is weak in tension so reinforcement bars are used, which are good in both compression and tension. It discusses arranging reinforcement in slabs and beams based on design requirements, including bending bars, placing cover blocks, and column and beam reinforcement. It emphasizes the importance of reinforcement bar bending schedules (BBS) that show the cut and bent bars as per design, including bar marks, sizes, shapes, quantities and other details. Finally, it mentions relevant Indian Standard codes for concrete reinforcement.

REINFORCEMENT

SCHEDULE
THE ART OF REBAR
WHY REINFORCEMENTS
2

y CONCRETE is good in compression but WEAK in


TENSION

y To cater the loads acting upon the concrete member


(BM, SF, DC and DT ) either in horizontal or vertical
directions

y Advantage of reinforcement bars –


{ Good in compression as well as in tension
REINFORCEMENT ARRANGEMENT IN SLAB

HOW THE FOLLOWING IS BEING DONE

y Bending of the rods


y Placing of the cover blocks
y Column reinforcement

y Beam reinforcement

WHAT IS BBS
7

y Comprehensive representation of cut and bent bars as per


the design requirements , and reinforcement detailer

WHY BBS ?

€ Helps in determining appropriate material quantities,


and cost estimation.
€ used to communicate requirements for cut & bent
shapes from the detailer to the fabricator
WHAT BBS SHOULD CONTAIN
8

y Identification of the structural member


y Position of the bars in the structure
y Bar mark
y Diameter / size of the bar
y No. of bars of one type in each structural member
y Total no. Of bars of each type
y Total straight length of the bar
y Shape and bending dimensions of the bar
y Chairs provided
y Remarks, if any.
y DRAWING No., LOCATION,
UNIT/BLOCK/BUILDING/TOWER - NAME/No.
SCHEDULE

y Compact summary of the dimensions of the


concerned structural part of all the bars effectively
shown in a tabular column.
y Prepared with reference to the given structural
drawing.
y Measurements to be incorporated from the
structural drawing.
y Missing dimensions can be considered with
reference to architectural drawing.
HOW SHOULD A SCHEDULE BE
10

y Must be supplemented with diagrams and sketches


wherever necessary
y Exact arrangement of reinforcement shall be shown
y No abbreviations to be included.
y Exact measurements must be recorded including the
deductions for bends & clear cover.
y Dowels and extra bars provided should be indicated.
