Introduction
Reinforced concrete is the most commonly used structural material

in engineering construction. Although concrete is strong in resisting
compressive stress, it is weak intention. Hence to withstand
tensional stresses, steel is need in concrete. The reinforcement in
concrete may be simple bars or rods bend and tied to a given
schedule with stirrups. The nominal diameters of bars used at site
were Y10, Y12,
HOME Y16, Y20, Y25 and R6.

It is necessary to be careful about length when preparing bar

schedules. In case of bending, bar length will increased at the
bending positions.
Minimization of bar cutting wastage
In the site several steps were adopted for that purpose. Those are,
Use of 12m long r/f bars rather than using shorter bars. For example
6m bars o cuts of 12m bars were used to prepare stools, separators
etc.
O cuts of larger diameter (25mm) bars-for spacer bars

O cuts of smaller diameter (10mm) bars-for stools
Lapping
Lapping is required when a bar isn’t long enough or a joint is

required. Bars may be deliberately left short for constructability and
transportation concerns. The preferred method of lapping where the
two bars overlap each other for some minimum distance. This
distance is called Lap length. These two bars are in physical contact
and wired together. It does not represent an actual bend in the bar.

Stirrups
Stirrups will be required at areas of high shear, such as bearing

points and below large point loads. Increasing concrete beam
spans, to reduce the need for additional piers, has resulted in the
need for the use of steel stirrups. Concrete beams vary in depth.
The deeper the beam, the more shear capacity. When the depth is
not adequate, steel stirrups must be added to increase the
shear capacity of the beam.
These stirrups are usually one piece of steel that is bent into a
rectangular shape. The stirrup typically wraps around the bottom
and top bars of the beams. A designer should specify the size,
spacing and location along the length of the beam where the
stirrups are required. In my site specify the stirrup dimensions in our
section drawings, so that the stirrup can be manufactured prior to
installation. The installer should be careful to fabricate the stirrup
from one piece of steel and adequately overlap each end.

Beam is a horizontal structural member resting on two or more

formwork.
The method adopted for the arrangement of beam reinforcements is

First the top most reinforcement bars are hung over the beam

Considering the region where the maximum bending movement is
existing.
Lapping is did the place which the tension is didn’t act. Normally
2/3 of the length is choosing for lapping. When lapping top &
bottom re-bar, it is better to follow the following method.Otherwise,
it might cause to reduce the concrete covering thickness of the
topmost& bottom most slab reinforcement.
Fig 8: Reinforcement for beams
Anchorage (bond) in concrete
Because the actual bond stress varies along the length of a bar
anchored in a zone of tension. The main requirement for safety
against bond failure is to provide a su cient extension of the length
of the bar beyond the point where the steel is required to develop
its yield stress and this length must be at least equal to its
development length. However, if the actual available length is
inadequate for full development, special anchorages must be
provided, such as bends, hooks.
E.g- (Anchorage length 45 d (for top bars),12 d (for bottom bars))

where “d”, “Ø” is diameter of the Bar.
Anchorage length Calculation
E.g.:- 20 mm diameter bar

First step of the xing of slab reinforcement was placed the bottom

given in the detailing drawing were marked by using piece of choke
on the slab formwork. After placed the (B1) R/F then placed the (B2)
