BBS of a Slab Bar Bending Schedule Tutorial
Now we are going to learn how to create bbs of a slab, we have previously learnt the bbs of column, footing and beam. We are going to use all the formulae we learnt in the basics of bbs. As you can see from the drawing above there are two kinds of bars in this… Continue reading BBS of a Slab Bar Bending Schedule Tutorial
Bend Deduction in BBS Bar Bending Schedule
Bend Deduction in BBS Let’s first see what bend deduction is and how to apply it. When you bend rebar it stretches. When you stretch a 100g loaf of bread, it still weighs 100g, stretching it will increase its length but not weight. So instead of directly multiplying the Unit weight with the length, we… Continue reading Bend Deduction in BBS Bar Bending Schedule
