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
REINFORCEMENT ARRANGEMENT IN SLAB
3
HOW THE FOLLOWING IS BEING DONE
4
y Bending of the rods
y Placing of the cover blocks
y Column reinforcement
y Beam reinforcement
DIMENSIONING IN BEAMS ACCORDING TO
DESIGN

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.
