Introduction & Scope
❖BBS is the schedule of reinforcement bars prepared in advance before
cutting and bending of rebars. This schedule contains all details of size,
shape and dimension of rebars to be cut.
❖The code of practice for bar bending schedule (IS 2502) was first adopted
on 21st September 1963 by the Indian Standards Institutions with a view to
assisting designers, engineers and contractors.
❖Its an attempt to save time , control wastage, efforts of manpower and
providing a standard to unify the various practices which are followed in
the country in this field.
❖Bar bending indeed is an operation which requires adequate supervision,
skilled workmanship and efficient tools otherwise the result undoubtedly
be unsatisfactory.
Basic Concepts
BBS certainly consists of the following things
• Bar number/Bar Mark Reference
• Diameter of the bar.
• Spacing.
• Bar shape.
• Cutting Length (True length – Deductions)
• Number of bars.
• Total Length.
• Unit Weight of the bar.
• Total Weight.
• Remarks.
Basic Concepts
Number of bars:
• Suppose the spacing of stirrups is 150 c/c and the length along which they are placed is 6800 mm, we can
find the number of bars by the formula below
• [ Length / Spacing ] + 1 = number of bars
• [ 6800 / 150 ] + 1 = 46.33
• In this case, we always round up. Hence, we require 47 stirrups.
Cutting Length:
• We must remember than steel is ductile in nature and is subject to elongation. Hence, the length of a bar is
increased when bends or hooks are introduced. Hence, certain deductions are needed to offset this
increase in length.
• Cutting Length = True Length of a bar – Deductions
• For 45 degree
Cutting length = Total length – 1 x Dia of bar x No. of bends
• For 90 degree
Cutting length = Total length – 2 x Dia of bar x No. of bends
Basic Concepts
Developmental length of the bar
• Developmental length(L) is the certain minimum length of the bar
required on either side of a point of maximum steel stress , in order
to transfer the bar force to surrounding concrete through bond , so as
to prevent bar from pulling out under tension

Basic Concepts
Developmental length of the bar
L = (nominal diameter of bar) x (stress at the section as design load)
4 x (design bond stress)
Design bond stress as per IS codes = M20 - 1.2 N/mmsq.
M25 - 1.4 N/mmsq.
M30 - 1.5 N/mmsq.
M35 - 1.7 N/mmsq.
M40 & above - 1.9 N/mmsq.
Basic Concepts
Lap length and extensions of the bar
❖ Generally the length of a bar is 12m , so on continuations we need to
provide laps.
❖But lappings shall not be used for bars having diameter larger than 36mm ,
in that case welding is to be done . If due to certain cause welding is not
practicable lappings may be permitted but with extra spirals around it.
❖The lap length is generally considered to be 50 times the diameter of the
bar.
❖In case of rafts or footings the thumb rule for providing the extensions to
the top and main bar is (2xD)/3 , where D is the depth of the foundation
❖ For hooks in stirrups or haunch bars the thumb rule is 12D , where D is the
diameter of the bar.

Advantages with BBS
• Scheduling and proper bending is strongly recommended for Fe 500. Fe 500 saves 10%
compared to Fe 415 steel used presently.
• Cutting and bending in a cut and bend factory avoids the wastage completely (5-7 %).
With BBS, bars can be cut with planning to reduce the wastage in a site with even the
present setup.
• Better quality control at site.
• Better estimation of steel.
• Real time estimation data, with the design.
• Better control on stock of steel actually required.
• Theft and pilferage of steel can be reduced.
• Economical order quantity for better project management.
• Bench marking quantity and quality requirements.
• Optimize your design based on the quantity of steel.
Advantages with BBS
• Steel bending and cutting can commence even before the form work is
done.
• Steel bending can be done at a separate site, marked and then can be
assembled at site, if there is space limitations.
• Project time can be reduced as the bars can be cut and bend before form
work is done.
• What you see in the drawing is what you get at the site.
• Mechanization of bending and cutting is possible. (Cut and bend systems)
Reduces labour and time but increases the reliability.
• As the works gets organized, smaller contractors can work on the project
at lesser rate.

Transportation of reinforcement
❖Reinforcement shall be transported to the site in such a manner that
there is no detoriation and deformation of bars.
❖ The unloading of already bend reinforcement shall be kept to the
nearest place where it is further to be processed.
❖As far as possible the bars should be unloaded separately with respect to
their sizes , shapes and lengths.
 Storage of reinforcement
• The reinforcement bars should not be kept in direct contact with the
ground rather it must be stacked on top of timber sleeves or like
shown in the photographs so as to avoid deterioration , corrosion and
distortion.
• This type of stacking according to various sizes also helps in quick and
easy identification.
