In this video, we are going to explain to you that how to prepare the Bar Bending Schedule for Slab according to the drawing. after watching this video you will be able to learn the Bar Bending Schedule of Slab
In this article you will learn bar bending schedule for slab
In the structural Drawing, Reinforcement detail of Slab is given,


NOTE: Length of extra bar at continuous support of slab will be L/4 on both side from center of support where L is the span from center to center
For the bar bending schedule for slab, Firstly we have to find out the cutting length of the bars in placed shorter span
Here A Bars are Straight bars of Diameter 10mm and spacing= 150mm c/c
B Bars are cranked bars of diameter 10mm and spacing = 150mm c/c
C Bars are extra bars of diameter 12mm and Spacing = 150mm c/c
Step 1:-Cutting Length of Bars
- cutting length of A bars = 3000[-(25+25)] (subtracting 25mm beam covers both side)
=2950mm or 2.95m

- Cutting length of B bars = 3000[-(25+25)] + 0.42t+0.42t
(Where T= thickness of slab, t = Thickness of slab – Top and Bottom Covers)
t = 150-(20+20) Covers top and bottom
t = 110mm
Therefore, 2.950+2x(0.42 x 0.11)
= 2.950+0.092=3.042m
- Cutting Length of C bars = C/C length
= 3-(0.125+0.125)
= 2.75m
According to drawing Cutting length of extra bar is L/4
Therefore, 2.75/4 = 0.6875 + 0.1m
= 0.7875m
Step 2:- No of Bars
- A Bars :- opposite length(-covers)/spacing
= 10000-(25+25)/150
=9950/150= 66.33nos.
- B Bars (no. of bars of cranked bars are 1 more than straight bars as they are placed alternatively).
Therefore, 66.33+1= 64.33 nos
- C Bars Extra bars= Same as Straight bars =63.33 nos
Step 3:- the unit weight of Bar
- for 12mm bars= D²/162
= 12×12/162=0.888Kg/m
- for 10mm bars = D2/162
= 10 x 10/162
=0.617kg/m
Step 4:-Total Weight of Bars:
- Total weight of A bars = cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 2.95m ×63.33 × 0.617
= 115.27 kg of Bars are used
- Total Weight of B bars= cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 3.042m ×64.33 × 0.617
= 120.74 kg of Bars are used
- Total Weight of C bars= cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 0.6875m ×63.33 × 0.888
= 38.66 kg of Bars are used
Now we have to find out the cutting length of the bars placed in longer span
Here D Bars are Straight bars of Diameter 10mm and spacing= 150mm c/c
E Bars are cranked bars of diameter 10mm and spacing = 150mm c/c
F Bars are extra bars of diameter 12mm and Spacing = 150mm c/c
Step 1:-
- cutting length of D bars = 10000[-(25+25)] (subtracting 25mm beam covers both side)
=9950mm or 9.95m

- Cutting length of E bars = 10000[-(25+25)] + 0.42t + 0.42t + 042t + 0.42t
(Where T= thickness of slab, t = Thickness of slab – Top and Bottom Covers)
t = 150-(20+20) Covers top and bottom
t = 110mm
Therefore, 10+4x(0.42 x 0.11)
= 9.950+0.184=10.134m
- Cutting Length of F bars = C/C length
= 10-(0.125+0.125)
= 9.75m
According to drawing Cutting length of extra bar is L/4
Therefore, 9.75/4 = 2.4375m
Step 2:- No of Bars
- D Bars :- opposite length(-covers)/spacing
= 3000-(25+25)/150
=2950/150= 19.66nos.
- E Bars (no. of bars of cranked bars are 1 more than straight bars as they are placed alternatively).
Therefore, 19.66+1= 20.66 nos
- F Bars Extra bars= Same as Straight bars =19.66 nos
Step 3:- the unit weight of Bar
- for 12mm bars= D²/162
= 12×12/162=0.888Kg/m
- for 10mm bars = D2/162
= 10 x 10/162
=0.617kg/m
Step 4:-Total Weight of Bars:
- Total weight of D bars = cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 9.95m ×19.66 × 0.617
= 120.69 kg of Bars are used
- Total Weight of E bars= cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 10.134m ×20.66 × 0.617
= 129.18 kg of Bars are used
- Total Weight of F bars= cutting length × No. of Bars × unit weight
= 2.437m ×19.66 × 0.888
= 42.54kg of Bars are used
