REBAR WORKS

STEEL BARS
• STEEL is mostly widely used reinforcing materials
for almost all types of concrete construction.

• Steel is ten times stronger than concrete in resisting

compression loads

• Steel is 100 times stronger than concrete in resisting

tensile stresses.

• The design of concrete assumes that concrete and

steel reinforcement acts together in resisting load
likewise to be in a state of simultaneous deformation.
BAR SPLICE, HOOK &
BEND
In estimating reinforcing bars, one have to
consider the additional length for the hook,
the bend and the splice whose length varies
depending upon the limitations as prescribed
by the NBC
 VARIOUS TYPE OF METAL REINFORCEMENTS
THAT AN ESTIMATOR SHOULD BE FAMILIAR
WITH:

• Concrete hollow block reinforcement

• Footing reinforcements Post and
• column reinforcements Beam and girder reinforcements
• Floor slab reinforcements

The three grades are distinguished

by the different color markings
painted at the ends of each bar, as
shown in the following table:

REBAR SIZES
10mm, 12mm,16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 32mm, and 36mm. For special orders, it can also make
40mm and 50mm bars.

AREA = 12 sqm = (4x12) AREA = 12 sqm = (4x12)

CHB = 12sqm x 12.5 = 150 pcs
Vertical at 80 cm Vertical at 80 cm
=12 sqm x 1.6 = 19.2 m long =150 pcs x 0.128=19.2 m

Horizontal at 3 layers Horizontal at 3 layers

 FOOTING
Determine the number of 12mm diameter
steel bars including if there are 30 pcs of
1.15 x 1.15 m square footing

Net length is 1.2 meters Net length is 1.2 meters

Total number of cut bars per footing = 6 x 2 = 12 6.00 rebar/1.2 meters = 5 pcs of 1.2m

Total number for 30 footings = 12 x 30 = 360 pcs Total number of cut bars per footing = 6 x 2 = 12

Total Length = 360 pcs x 1.2 meters = 432 meters Total number for 30 footings = 12 x 30 = 360 pcs

432 m / 6 m = 72 pcs of 12mm x 6m rebar 360 pcs/ 5 pcs = 72 pcs of 12mm x 6m rebar
