8. Do’s and Don’ts
 Proper accuracy
 Provide cover to rein
 Location of holes
 Bars >36mm shall not
bundled
 Welding is not permitted

11. Bar Bending Schedule (contd…)
Example:
M-1
M-1 = 4000 + 2 x 228 – 2 x 40 + 2 x (18
x 20)
= 5096
M-2h = 375 – 2 x 40 – 2 x 10 – 2 (15/2) =
260
M-2h = 375 – 2 x 40 – 2 x 10 – 2 (15/2) =
260
h
M-2 = 4000 + 2 x 228 – 2 x 40 + (0.414 x 260) x 2
= 5091
H-1
H-1 = 4000 + 2 x 228 – 2 x 40
= 4376

12. Bar Bending Schedule (contd…)
Example: Prepare bar bending schedule for the given beam. Clear
cover = 40 mm
Shear stirrups
Number of Bars = 4000 / 180 +1 = 24 Round-up
a
a = 375 – 2 x 40 – 10 = 285 mm
bb = 228– 2 x 40 – 10 =138 mm
Total length of S-1 = 2 (138 + 285 + 18 x 10) = 1206 mm
