Bar Bending Schedule

The document describes standard proportions for hooks and bends in reinforcement bars, including that the length of a hook is equal to 4 bar diameters plus 4 bar diameters plus 1 bar diameter, for a total of 9 bar diameters. It also explains how to calculate the additional length needed when bending a bar, which is the difference between the straight length and bent length and depends on the bend angle. A table shows example additional length values for different bend angles. Finally, figures 1 and 2 illustrate hooks and bends and how to determine total bar length.

Figure 1 depicts the shape and proportions of hooks and bends in the

reinforcement bars these are standard proportions that are adhered to:

(a) Length of one hook = (4d ) + [(4d+ d )] where, (4d+ d ) refers to the
curved portion = 9d.

(b) The additional length (la) that is introduced in the simple, straight end-
to-end length of a reinforcement bar due to being bent up at say 30o to
60o, but it is generally 45o) = l1 l2 = la

Where,

Giving different values to respectively), we get different
values of la, as tabulated below:

Figure 2 presents the procedure to arrive at the length of hooks and the
total length of a given steel reinforcement.
