FOREWORD 0.1 Thig Indian Standard was adopted hy the Indian Standards Institution fon 21 September 1963, after the draft finalized hy the Jot Sectional Comumittce for Conerete Reinforcement had heen approved by the Hui ing Division Council and the Structural and Metals Divsien Council 0.2 This standard is prepared with a view to assisting designers, enginwers and eontraciors in drawing up precise bending schedules fer reinforeerient ised in reinforced concrete construction, and iso in the Axing of reife ment, Though, itis well appreciated that much of time and effort eas be Sxved on the site if rational dimensions for shaping the bars are sopyplicd to the bar benders: different practices have been followed hitherto in deawinyr up the bar bending schedule. It is attempted in this standaré to unify the varions practices followed and to rationalize the bending selustule 10 conrespond with metric series of reinforcement, 03 Bar beuding is an operation which requtices adequate supecvision, skilled workmanship and efficient equipment, and any attemp: to ery fut the worle with unskilled Inbour and incFicient tools will uniloubtediy result in unsatisfactory work. In view of this, eertain recommended methods of bar bending are also included in this standard. 04 Though’ this standard is primarily intended for the preparation of bending schedule for reinforced concrete work, it may abo be gener sliy adopted for mild stcel reinforerment used in prestressed concrete Work, 8 The Sectional Committee responsible {or the preparation of this stan- dard has taken into consideration the views of prodicers, cxnc.c1s and technologists and has related the standard to. the manufsetitng and trade practices followed in the country in this field.
