Reinforced Cement Concrete Work
■ Cement Concrete
■ Reinforcement Bars
1
Bar Bending Schedule (BBS)
■ It is used to communicate the design requirement of
reinforcement of steel to the fabricator and execution team
to calculate weight of each size of steel.
■ It is an inclusive list that describes the location, mark, type,
size, length, number and bending details of each bar in a
reinforcement drawing of a structure.

Bar Bending Schedule (BBS)
It comprise of:
■ Member Identification (Beam, Column, Slab, etc.)
■ Bar Mark (Top, Bottom, Stirrup, etc.)
■ Shape of bar
■ Type of Steel
■ Diameter of bar
■ Length of each bar
■ Number of bar
■ Total Length
■ Weight

Member Identification

Bar Mark and No. of Bars
■ For each structural members each bars has a mark or a
designation
Top, Bottom, Stirrups, Bent-up, Extra, etc.
■ For members like beams, columns, Walls ,etc. bars can be
calculated manual counting from the structural drawing,
■ For members like slab, or stirrups in beams and columns,
