RE-BARS
commonly used as a tension
device
in reinforced
concrete and
reinforced masonry structure.
to strengthen and hold the
concrete in compression.
It is usually in the form
of carbon steel bars or wires,
and the surfaces may be
deformed for a better bond with
the concrete

By Area Method:
Solve for the area
Spacing is given at plan, then refer to table above
Multiply the area by the factor for both horizontal and
vertical then add.
Convert to commercial length
Example:
Determine the number of CHB from a 4x3m wall, its
vertical reinforcement spaced at 80cm, Horizontal
reinforcement at every 3 layers.
Area = 4x3m
Area = 12 sqm
Lateral Ties
The ACI code provides that:
All non pre-stressed bars for tied column shall be enclosed by a
lateral ties of at least no. 3 in size for longitudinal bars no. 10 or
smaller and at least no.4 in size for no. 11 to 18 and bundled
longitudinal bars.
Example:
A concrete beam with a cross sectional dim of 25x40 cm
required 10mm open stirrups spaced. Prepare the order of
10mm steel bars for stirrups of 8 beams with the same
category.
End Part 1
Sample:
Given data :
Slab = 2.20 x 1.20 m
Use 12mm diameter
a. L = 2.20 2 (0.04) = 2.12m
b. W = 1.20 2(0.04) = 1.12m
c. L / 0.40m = 2.12m/0/40m = 5.30
d. W/0.40cm = 1.12 /0.40 = 2.80
e. Multiply 5.30 x 1.12 x 2 = 11.872m- one side
f. Multiply 2.80 x 2.12 x 2 = 11.872m other side
g. Add = 23.744
h. Divide comml length; say 6m = 3.96 or 4pcs12mm 6m
