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

 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
9

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.
