For example
if we have a slab of dimensions Lx X Ly
Similarly
Stiruups
Number of stirrups is calculated by using the formula;
1. 6mm,
2. 8mm,
3. 10mm,
4. 12mm,
5. 16mm,
6. 20mm,
7. 25mm,
8. 32mm,
9. 40mm dia
The standard length of a steel bar is usually kept as 12m (40 feet) for convenient
transportation
For example
Similarly,
8 mm 0.395 kg/m
10 mm 0.610 kg/m
12 mm 0.89 kg/m
16 mm 1.58 kg/m
20 mm 2.46 kg/m
25 mm 3.87 kg/m
32 mm 6.32 kg/m
40 mm 9.87 kg/m
Why do we provide hooks & how to calculate hook length for bar bending schedule?
The tension bars should remain in position, otherwise, their purpose will not be fulfilled. So, to
develop a bond strength between the steel bars & the concrete, development length
requirements must be satisfied. Now there may be chances, where the required length is
unavailable to meet the requirements of development length. In those cases, anchorages may
be provided in the form of hooks.
For example
if we have a bar of length L & the bar is provided with 2 no of hooks on either end.
The cutting length of this bar will be equal to the length of bar(L) + hook length (9d + 9d).
From the above image we have noted that, this steel bar is bent upon either end. These shapes
are usually used in footings.
The length of this bend is taken from 10d to 16d in which d is the diameter of the bar.
The cutting length of this type of bar will be equal to straight length (L) + bends (10d to 12d)
The standard length of reinforcement bars is 12m. If we add the straight bars directly from end
to end, then there may be chances of slippage of steel which is prevented by overlapping the
bars.
The aim of overlapping is to keep the steel bars connected so that the load can be safely
transferred from one steel bar to the next steel.
Cranked bars are those bars that can resist negative bending moments or simply hogging
moments which is generally developed at support in top fiber. Bent up bars are provided in
slabs as well as in beams since these members are subjected to flexural tensile stresses.
As you can clearly observe from this iamge that, The Inclined length is known as crank length &
is equal to 0.42d in which,
