• In context of Reinforcement bars, it is called bar scheduling. In short, Bar Bending Schedule is a way of organizing rebars for each structural unit, giving detailed reinforcement requirements. The bars should be grouped together for each structural unit, e.g. beam, column, etc. In a building structure, the bars should be listed floor by floor

Any BBS has only five steps of calculation such as

• Find the number of reinforcement bars to be used
• Find the cutting length of each bar
• Find the number of stirrups calculation or number of distribution bars calculation if it is a slab
• Find the cutting length of stirrups or extra bars (top rods)
• List down all the bars into the table and find out the quantity of steel.

BBS Basics & Formulas to be remembered

• Diameter of bars (in mm) – 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40 mm
• The standard length of reinforcement bar – 12 metre or 40 feet
• Weight of bar (Kg) per metre formula – D2/162
