CUTTING LENGTH OF BENT UP BARS IN SLAB AND BEAM
As a site engineer, you would like to calculate the cutting length of bars consistent with the slab or beam dimensions and searching for cutting length of steel. For small area of structure, you'll be able to hand the reinforcement detailing to the bar benders for cutting and bending. They’re going to make sure of cutting length for no wastage or minimum wastage. But beware, that has to not be accurate. Because they are doing not give importance to the bends and cranks. They will give some extra inches to the bars for the bends which are totally wrong for wastage of fabric and money. So it's always recommended that as a site engineer calculate the cutting length yourself as accurate. During this article, we are going to discuss the way to the calculate length for reinforcement bars of slab. Let’s start with an example. EXAMPLE: Example With Measurement Where, Diameter of the bar = 12 mm Clear Cover = 25 mm Clear Span (L) = 8000 Slab Thickness = 200 mm Development Length(Ld...
