This article will provide an overview of the basics of bar bending schedule formulas, highlighting their significance and benefits for steel
calculations for RCC members in construction. Before reading this article you first read about How to Prepare Bar Bending Schedule
“Bar bending schedule is not just a document, it’s a critical tool for ensuring the strength and stability of a
structure. It represents the careful planning and attention to detail that goes into every construction project.”
For Example:
Diameter of Bar = D = 10 mm
Unit Weight of Steel Bar Per Feet = W = D2 / 533 = (10 x 10) / 533 = 0.188 Kg/ft
CASE – 2:
Unit Weight of Steel Bar Per Feet = W = D2 / 52.896 where ‘D’ is in # (Numbers)
For Example:
Diameter of Bar = D = #4
Unit Weight of Steel Bar Per Feet = W = D2 / 52.896 = (4 x 4) / 52.896 = 0.302 Kg/ft
For Example:
Dia of Bar = D = 8 mm
Unit Weight of Steel Bar Per Feet = W = D2 / 162 = (8 x 8) / 162 = 0.39 Kg/m
so, The Total Weight of Steel Bar = W = D2 / 533 x Length of Bar = (10 x 10)/533 x 40 = 7.50 Kg/ft3
so, The Total Weight of Steel Bar = W = D2 / 162 x Length of Bar = (8 x 8)/162 x 12 = 4.74 Kg/m3
Spacing In Reinforcement:
Distance between two reinforcement bars
Let’s we find different types of cutting lengths by using bar bending schedule formulas:
Cutting Length of Main Bar formula = L = Span – (2 x CC) + (2 x Length of Hook) – (2 x Bend Deduction)
For Example:
Overall Span = 6 m, Concrete Cover CC for Slab = 20 mm = 20/1000 = 0.020, Dia of Bar = 12 mm = 0.012 m
Cutting Length of Main Bar formula = L = Span – (2 x CC) + (2 x Length of Hook) – (2 x Bend Deduction)
For Example:
Overall Span = 7 m, Concrete Cover CC for Slab = 20 mm = 20/1000 = 0.020, Dia of Bar = 12 mm = 0.012 m
Cutting Length of Bentup Bar formula = L = Clear Span + (2 x Breadth of Beam) – (2 x CC) + (2 x Crank Length) – (4 x 45 Deg Bend
Deduction) – (2 x Length of Hook) – (2 x 180 Deg Bend Deduction)
Cutting Length of Bentup Bar = L = Clear Span + (2 x Breadth of Beam) – (2 x CC) + (2 x 0.42 x h) – (4 x 1 x d) – (2 x 12 x d) – (2 x 4 x d)
For Example:
Clear Span = 1800 = 1.8 m, Breadth of Beam = 300 mm = 0.300 m, Concrete Cover CC for Slab = 20 mm = 20/1000 = 0.020, Dia of Bentup Bar
= 12 mm = 0.012 m, Slab thickness = 150 mm = 0.150 m
Cutting Length of Bentup Bar = L = 1.8 + (2 x 0.300) – (2 x 0.020) + (2 x 0.42 x 0.098) – (4 x 1 x 0.020) – (2 x 12 x 0.020) – (2 x 4 x 0.020) =
1.722 m
Rectangular Stirrup
Hook Length = 2 x 12d (for 135 Degree Bend, in case of 90 degree bend should be 10d)
Bend Deduction 90 = 3 x 2d
Bend Deduction 135 = 2 x 3d
Triangular Stirrup
a = A – (2 x Clear Cover)
b = B – (2 x Clear Cover)
Bend Deduction for 120o = 2 x 1.33d (Because the outer bend is 60o)
Diamond Stirrup
a = A – (2 x Clear Cover)
b = B – (2 x Clear Cover)
Circular Stirrup
Chair Bar
Where,
A = (2 x Spacing) + 75 mm
B = 50d
D = Footing Height – [(Upper + Lower Concrete Cover) + (Upper MB Dia + Upper DB Dia) + Lower MB Dia
Where,
The use of bar bending schedule formulas has revolutionized the steel construction industry, making it easier and more efficient. Therefore,
it is imperative for professionals in the field of Civil Engineering to fully understand the concept of bar bending schedules and their
formulas.

Could you forward for the construction / installation phase of the concrete scope of work: how would you factor the installation man-
hours/crew size ratio for the development of a schedule. The schedule would outlining the following steps: rebar placement,
formwork placement, concrete pour , concrete curing time, concrete stripping. The duration would be calculated using what means
of method.
