In this special civil engineering section, information is going to be provided about: in what way to make bar bending schedule of footing as well as calculate the number of bars in footing.

With regards to RCC slab, column and beam, it is necessary to offer reinforcement rods having various lengths as per drawings. Calculating the length of straight length through summing crank as well as hooks is called cutting length.

Bar bending schedule refers to a process of cutting as well as bending reinforcement bars to shapes. It consists of a comprehensive list, which signifies the position, mark, sort, size, number, length as well as bending details of each bar in a reinforcement drawing of a structure. The technique of listing is called scheduling.

A BBS (Bar Bending Schedule) presents the followings:

Bar Mark

Member identification

Shape of bending

Bar’s diameter

Length of each bar

Overall numbers of bars

Overall length

Weight

In BBS of footing, one is going to obtain the numbers of bars having distinct lengths as well as sizes in both y axis as well as x axis together with the cutting length to finish a footing.
