Preparation of bar bending schedule for footing and column

In this exclusive construction video tutorial, S.L. Khan, the renowned engineer, teaches you how to create bar bending schedule for square footing and column.

BBS is mainly responsible for determining cutting length of steel as well as total weight of steel per unit area.

BBS or Bar Bending Schedule is the vital part of estimation chart. In a bar bending schedule, you will get the reinforcement (steel) calculation toward reinforcement of concrete column, beam and slab cutting length as well as determine the types of bends of length which are arranged in steel structures.

The purpose of BBS is to determine the cutting length of steel as well as total weight of steel per unit area. Generally, the bar bending schedule is prepared with Ms office Excel software.

It is essential to utilize various types of mesh (reinforcement) in footings according to design. It should be noted that perfect concrete cover should have been chosen for the reinforcement in footings to withstand corrosion.
