Quantity Surveying/Bar-bending Schedule (B.B.S) Course

Learn to determine cut lengths for main and distribution bars in reinforced concrete, using 180-degree and 90-degree bends, hooks, and bend deductions.

Calculate cut length of rectangular stirrups using dimensions, concrete cover, hook length, and bend deductions; example uses 3x90° and 2x135° bends with a 3/8 inch bar to reach 54 inches.

Learn to compute the cut length of circular stirrups by determining the internal diameter from concrete cover, adding hook lengths, and applying a 135-degree bend using pi 3.142.

Learn to calculate the cut length of chair bars for reinforcement by applying chair dimensions, spacing, concrete covers, and bend directions to determine total length and count.

Explore how to build a ball bending schedule sheet in MK system, detailing serial numbers, member type, dimensions, bar details, spacing, bend directions, and calculations for total numbers and lengths.

Master formatting in the bbs Excel sheet, including center-to-center spacing, custom formats for inches, and using format painter to copy formats across the bar-bending schedule.

learn to determine footing bar bending schedules by calculating bottom and top distribution bars with 150 mm center-to-center spacing, computing quantities, cutting lengths, and total length from span and concrete cover.
