How to create Bar Bending Schedule of RCC Slab

This construction video shows brief guidelines for creating bar bending schedule of RCC slab to measure the quantity of steel.

The video will focus on cut length of bar, total length of bar, weight of bar and estimation of different parts.

Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) is a chart that provides a brief schedule of the steel applied in structures like length (cut length, crank, etc), diameter (8 mm, 12mm, 16 mm so on), shape (length bar, stirrups with hook, so on), location (column, beam, foundation, slab). We can also find out the total weight out of the lengths. It facilitate the workers to arrange steel perfectly. For general bar bending schedule, you can refer IS 2502: 2004, the most updated revision.

The process of indexing the location, type and size, number of and all other details is known as “Scheduling”. With reference to Reinforcement bars, it is termed as bar scheduling.
