Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap

Beams:-

Bar Bending Schedule Plays a vital role in finding

the quantities of the reinforcement required for the
building. Well, In order to understand the tie
beam/Strap beam reinforcement in Substructure, I
refer you to learn the Bar Bending Schedule for
footings.

Tie Beam and Strap Beam:-

Tie Beam (Straight beam) is a beam which
connects the two footings in the substructure. Tie
beam is provided when the two footings are in the
same line. Strap Beam(inclined beam) is similar to
tie beam but it connects two footings at a certain
angle. Strap beam is laid when two footings are in
different levels. Tie beam/ Strap beam are
specifically located between pile caps and shallow
foundations. their primary function is to force all
shallow foundations or pile caps to have
approximately the same settlements.

Steps to be followed while finding out the total

wt. of steel required for constructing Tie beams /
Strap beams:-

Tie beam reinforcement calculation is divided into

two parts Main bars and stirrups.

Part-I:- Main Bars

1. Check the Length of Main bars in top, bottom,

side bars.
2. Then Check the No. of Main bars in top,
bottom, side bars
3. Check the Diameter of Main bars in top,
bottom, side bars
4. Calculate the total length of Main bars in top,
bottom and side direction.
5. Find the total wt of Main bars.

Part-II:- Stirrups

1. Deduct the concrete cover from all sides of tie

and find out the length of stirrup.
2. Calculate the length of stirrup including hook.
3. Calculate the total no. of stirrups.
4. Find the total length of stirrups
5. Then Calculate the total wt. of stirrups.

Length, Dia and No. of Bars are adopted and

designed by the structural engineer by executing the
load analysis.

10/1/22, 12:23 AM Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap Beams|Reinforcement Detail

Consider the below shown Figure.

Assume for calculation:-

Dia of Top Bars = 10mm, Dia of Bottom bars =

10mm ,Dia of Side bars = 8mm, Dia of Stirrups =
6mm, Spacing between ties = 0.1m.

No. of Top Main bars = 4, No. of Bottom Main bars =

4 , No. of Side Main bars = 2

Calculation for the Quantity of Tie beams (Main

Bars):-

All beams in horizontal axis are all Tie beams except

the beam between F5 and F6.

https://civilread.com/bar-bending-schedule-tie-beamsstrap-beams/ 5/14
10/1/22, 12:23 AM Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap Beams|Reinforcement Detail

Treat all the beams are tie beams, as the direct

value of length of beam is already given for all. If
the length of Strap beam isn’t given then obtain the
Length of Strap beam by using Pythagorean
theorem,

Hyp^2 = Adj^2+ Opp^2

Hypotenuse = length of strap beam.

From the figure,

Part- I. Calculate the Total wt required for Main bars

https://civilread.com/bar-bending-schedule-tie-beamsstrap-beams/ 6/14
10/1/22, 12:23 AM Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap Beams|Reinforcement Detail

Apply the above method for all the tie beams in

Horizontal and the vertical axis. the result of all tie
beams have been entered in the below table.

Calculation for the quantity of Tie Beams

(Stirrups):-
As I have already mentioned that Stirrups are
started from one face of footing to the another face
footing.

Tie Beam on Axis I between A-B:-

Below are the five steps for finding the quantities of

Tie beam (Stirrups)
https://civilread.com/bar-bending-schedule-tie-beamsstrap-beams/ 7/14
10/1/22, 12:23 AM Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap Beams|Reinforcement Detail

1. Deducting the concrete cover from all sides of

the tie beam for finding out the length of each
tie
From the figure, it implies that reinforcement
details of Tie beams in horizontal axis and
vertical axis are different.

As per the condition deduct the concrete cover

of 0.05 from all sides of stirrups for Horizontal
axis tie beams and 0.025 from all sides of
stirrups for Vertical axis tie beams

Apply the above method for remaining tie beams.

The result is mentioned below. Check you result with
the below table.

10/1/22, 12:23 AM Bar Bending Schedule for Tie Beams/Strap Beams|Reinforcement Detail

Abstract For Finding out the total quantity of

Steel reinforcement required for Tie Beam/Strap
Beam for the above given plan:-

Hence, Total wt of Steel 512.81 Kgs required for Tie

beam/Strap Beam (for above plan).

Very helpful to me as an estimator who

doesn’t have field experience. Thanks a lot!

everything is good, but i have a question that

why don’t you include the development
length of beam bars while calculating the bar
length?
