1. | Standard Length of the Steel Bar (Bars are sold at standard Length) ![]() | 12m or 40' |
2. | Weight of Bar for length = 1m | D2/162 (were D = Dia of Bar) |
Ex: | If length of bar is 12m with 10mm Dia then , Weight of bar = D2/162 Therefore for length 1m = 1m x D2/162 = 1 x 102/162 = 0.61 Kgs For length 12m = 12 x 102/162 = 7.40Kgs | 7.40Kgs |
3. | Density of Steel | 7850Kg/m3 |
1. Stirrups' hook length or cutting length:
Below image makes you clear why the Hook length = 9d
From above fig, length of hook = [(Curved Portion) + 4d] = [(4d+d)+4d] = 9d
Two. Bend Length:
(i) Cranked bar bend length calculation:
θ0 | D/Sinθ | D/tanθ | la =D/Sinθ – D/tanθ |
300 | D/0.500 | D/0.573 | 0.27D |
450 | D/0.707 | D/1.000 | 0.42D |
600 | D/0.866 | D/1.732 | 0.58D |
900 | D/1 | 0 | 1D |
1350 | D/0.707 | D/-1 | 2.42D |
Never forget: D = Depth of Slab, Top Cover, and Bottom Cover.

Bar Shapes | Total Length of Hooks | Total Bend Length | Total Length of Bar |
---|---|---|---|
Straight Bar![]() | Two Hooks = 9d + 9d = 18d | No bend | l + 18D |
Bent Up at one End only![]() | Two Hooks = 9d + 9d = 18d | One bend bent at an angle 45 = 0.42D | l + 18D + 0.42D |
Double Bent up Bar![]() | Two Hooks = 9d + 9d = 18d | Two bends bent at an angle 450 | l + 18D + 0.42D + 0.42D =l+18D+0.84D |
Overlap of bars![]() | Two Hooks = 9d + 9d = 18d | No bends | Overlap Length =(40d to 45d)+18d |

Important guidelines for creating a bar bending schedule include:
- For each structural unit, the bars used in a building should be listed collectively, and separately, for each floor.
- The order of the bars is numerical.
- Each bar in the bundle of bars is specifically labelled with reference information (bar length, bar size, bar shape) to help you identify it.
- The type of bar and the bar's shape must both adhere to B8666.
- A specific group or set of bars with specific length, size, shape and type used at work must be specifically referred to by the bar mark reference on the label that is attached to a bundle of bars.
- The calculations for cutting length and bending length are done separately and are not listed in the comprehensive list. In the same way that I've listed the specifics of bar bending in a table and performed separate calculations.
Schedule for Bar Bending:
- BBS aids in estimating the overall amount of steel needed to construct a building or other structure. The price of steel should be included in the quote for the tender.
- Finding the cutting length and bending length in reinforcement detailing enhances construction quality, reduces steel waste, and results in an affordable construction.
- Cutting and bending can be done in the factory and transported to the site with the aid of reinforcement drawings. This speeds up construction and lowers the overall cost of the project.
- Before pouring the concrete, it is simple for site engineers to check the cutting and bending lengths of the reinforcement.

Schedule for Bar Bending (BBS)
135° Steel Bend
For instance, the diameter of a bar with a 12 m (assumed) length is 25 mm. As a result, one bend is subtracted by three because it is a 135 degree bend.i.e.Cutting Length is calculated as 12- 3d/12-3*0.025=11.925 m.4. The deduction is the same for a 180-degree bend: 4d.
For instance, the diameter of a bar with a 12 m (assumed) length is 25 mm. Since there is only one bend and it is a 180-degree bend, 4d is subtracted.
i.e.
Cutting Length = 12 3d x 12 4 x 0.025 m.
To obtain the cutting length, there should be n deductions from the original length for every n bends.
For instance,
12 metres in length, 25 millimetres in diameter, 90 degrees bent, and two bents.
Cutting Length is therefore equal to 12- 2*(2d)= 12- 2(2*0.025)= 11.9 m.
Regardless of the angle, we will typically only deduct 2d for each bend on a construction site (i.e., regardless of the angle being 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, or 180 degrees, we will only deduct 2d for each bent).
For more information, consult the "IS:2502 Code of Practise for Bending and Fixing of Bars".

Benefits of BBS
- Calculating steel reinforcement quantities of various diameters and grades is simple.
- A schedule of bars makes it simple to find ideas for various bar sizes, bends, and lengths.
- The bar bending schedule is very useful when inspecting the reinforcement on a construction site.
- Additionally, it aids in reducing confusion on the construction site.
- It provides the precise amount of steel needed for the job, allowing for the optimisation of reinforcement in the event of cost overruns.
- Site engineers can easily check and confirm the cutting length and bar bending while inspecting the site thanks to the bar bending schedule.
- These bar schedules make it simple to create the construction bills at the conclusion of the entire project.
How to Create a Schedule for Bar Bending
#Extra Bar Length:
- Extra length for 1 hook = 9Φ
- Extra length for 2 hooks = 2 × 9Φ = 18Φ
- 90° bend is generally provided for HYSD (High Yielding Strength Deformed) Bars.
- Extra Length for one 90° bend = 6Φ
- Extra length for two 90° bend = 2 × 6Φ = 12Φ
Third, bent bars
- Extra length for one bent-up is equal to frac(d,sin(45),d), or 0.42d.
- Extra length for two bent-up bars is calculated as follows: 2 0.42 d = 0.84 d
- d = D - (top cover + bottom cover).
- Extra length of hook = 24Φ
- A = b – 2 (side cover)
- B = D – (top cover + bottom cover)
- Total length of stirrups = 2 (A + B) + 24Φ …… (Φ = dia of steel reinforcement)

Making a Schedule for Bar Bending with a Simple Example
Step 1: Main Bar Length
Step 2: Anchor Bar Length (2, 12"):
Step 3: Stirrup length (6 mm):
B = 650 – (2 × clear cover)
= 650 – (2 × 25) = 600 mm
L = 2 (A + B) + 24Φ
= 2 (250 + 600) + (24 × 6)
= 1844 mm/ 1.84 m
Number of Stirrups =
=
= 45 Nos.
