Bar Bending Schedule (contd)

Example:

Example: Prepare bar bending schedule for the given beam. Clear
cover = 40 mm

M-1 = 4000 + 2 x 228 2 x 40 + 2 x (18

x 20)

M-1

= 5096
h = 375 2 x 40 2 x 10 2 (15/2) =

M-2 = 4000 + 2 x 228 2 x 40 + (0.414 x 260) x 2

Round-up

a = 375 2 x 40 10 = 285 mm
b = 228 2 x 40 10 =138 mm

Total length of S-1 = 2 (138 + 285 + 18 x 10) = 1206 mm
