Rebar Take-off Rules

Steel diameters are:

Rebar Standard Lengths are:

4, 5, 6, 7, 12m.

Overlap standard distance is= 40*max Diameter for tension, 50*max Diameter for
compression.
Cover distance = 0.005m in foundations only and 0.025m otherwise.
Stirrup key is 0.1 *2= 0.2m
Rebar order format is as follows:

8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18mm.

Calculated Number Standard Diameter/ Standard Length

Rebar volume is negligible in concrete quantity take-off.


AGGREGATE REBAR DATA FOR SIMILAR DIAMETERS AND LENGTHS ONLY!
FOR TONNAGE ESTIMATION MULTIPLY THE NUMBER BY THE LENGTH BY THE
UNIT WEIGHT OF BAR.
SHOULD TRANSLATE TAKE-OFF NUMBERS ON THE A-CADS.

Quantity Takeoff: Steel Estimating


Steel bar standard diameters: 8mm, 10mm,
12mm, 14, 16, 18, 20, 32
Steel bar standard lengths: 4, 5, 6, 7, 12
Steel overlapping follow rule 40 * Q
If you have two bars of 10mm and 16mm, find
the overlap distance?
Select the higher diameter and multiply with
40= 16*40=640=64cm

Distinguish between different types of steel
