Bar bending schedule:-

This is a list of reinforcement bars in a tabular form and the following

essential details are generally given for a bar bending schedule in R.C.C works.

[A] Bar mark: This gives the position of the bar in structure.

[B] Diameter of the bar.

[C] The shape & bending dimensions of the bar.

[D] Length of each bar.

[E] Number of the same type of bars.

[F] Total length.

[G] Weight & [H] Total weight.

This should be done according to the recommendation of IS : 2502-1963.

From the bar bending schedule the requirement of different sizes of bars can be
known & bars may be cut & bend accurately. This helps to estimate more
rapidly. The dimensions of bends should be so given that a minimum amount of
calculations is necessary for making of bars & setting the machine & stops.

For reinforced concrete work estimate of steel may be necessary for the
following purposes:

[I] For procurement of the material. [II] To submit or to check at site the
consumption of the material. [III] For preparation of bill for payment.
