Calculation of the quantity of Rebar material

1) Extra of rebar
In case of deformed bar, extra is 3% in general when including fixed & splice
length of rebar, however, it is proportional to bar size.
16mm or larger : more than 5% extra
3% of 100ton is 1000.03 = 3ton
Rebar calculation included extra 3-8% after calculating fixing & splice.
Therefore, those works will prevent from the reason of illegal construction
practices with correct quantity & regular position carryout of construction by
calculating bar-list with shop drawing.
If rebar will be processed in rebar processing factory , basically extra is as follows.
In construction work 3%, in engineering work 6%, support work 3~4%.
You have to consider the economical efficiency and construction carryout
efficiency in site after analyzing in advance about extra percentage per rebar size
by the criterion per construction carryout area.

<Example : 1>

<Example-1>

In 20002000 foundation, shown as above, requirement of bar includes 20pcs HD22

bars of 1,840mm (80(cover depth)2(both ends) = 160mm is extracted from
2,000(original length of foundation), 2pcs D19 assist bars of 2,601mm(1,840)1,414
2 ), diagonal direction) and 4pcs short diagonal bars(2 bars in each diagonal
direction) of 2,318mm(1,640(200mm is extracted from main bar length 1,840mm)

1,414 ( 2 ).
HD22 1,840mm20(foundation) = 36,800mm
Weight = 36.8m(36,800mm)3.04(unit weight) = 111.872kgf
HD19 2,600mm(long bar)2 = 5,200mm
Weight = 5.20m(5,200mm)2.25(unit weight) = 11.700kgf
HD19 2,310mm(short bar)4 = 9,240mm
Weight = 9.24mm(9,240mm)2.25(unit weight) = 20.79kgf
Actual requirement of bar is HD22 = 111.872kgf
HD19 = (11.700kgf+20.79kgf) = 32.49kgf
LOSS(left bar strip) : The original length of bar before cutoff is usually 8,000mm.
In case of above, 4pcs 1,840mm bars are produced and 640mm of bar strip is
left.
5 bars are needed for foundation, hence 6405 = 3,200mm of bar strip is left. Its
net weight is 3.20m(3,200mm)3.04(unit weight) = 9.72kg.
Actual requirement of bar is 8m3.04(unit weight)5 bars = 121.6kg

<Example : 2>
What is the weight of D10 8m bar?
0.56kg8m = 4.48kg
How many D13 bars(8m criterion) in 2ton?
2,000kg(0.995kgX8m) = 251EA(standard is 240EA)
Arrangement in foundation (base plate F)
( All the unit in drawing should be in 'mm')

HD16 rebar 200mm space

HD19 rebar 300mm space

HD13 reinforcement bar 3EA

HD16 = 2,000-(80(cover depth)2(both ends)) = 1,840 (cutoff dimension)

HD19 = 3,000-(80(cover depth)2(both ends)) = 2,840 (cutoff dimension)

HD13 = 1840 +2840 = 18401840+28402840 = 3,383 (cutoff dimension)

(Note. x = xx, 10 = 1010 = 100)

Here, multiply unit weight and number, then net weight of bar is
HD16 = 1.84m(1,840mm)1.56kg = 2.87kg
2,840 @200 = 14.2 14 14+1 = 15EA
2.87kg15 = 43.05kg

HD19 = 2.84m2.25kg = 6.39kg

1,840 @300 = 6.13 6 6+1 = 7EA
6.40kg7 = 43.73kg
HD13 = 3.38m(3,380mm)0.995kg = 3.36kg
Weight = 3.36kgassist bar(3+3) = 20.16kg
Among 6 assist bars, two(2) of them in 3,380mm and the other(4) in 12,320mm
(4x3,080mm : 300mm shorter)
Net weight is 43.05+44.73+21.60 = 109.38kg and add 5% extra, hence 114.84kg is
required.

3) Base(footing) and pillar

As various footing types like continues footing, single footing and mat footing, there
are many shapes of footing, that is, triangle, right triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon,
circle, multi-layer plate, etc.
In this book triangle shape footing and single reinforcement footing are dealt with.

In case of footing shown left cover

depth, the type of bar and the size of
HD22@200

bar should be considered.

In addition, the reinforcement at
footing-pillar junction should be
included here.

HD19-6EA

Before bar cutoff, the size of C1,

HD22@200

the area of main reinforcement, the

size of hoop and the spacing of

F1 plane

stirrup are all considered consulting

the bar list.

cover50

Calculation :
cover80

Footing shown left is in contact

with soil, hence cover depth is
80mm at each end(802 = 160 at
both ends).

Section

160mm is extracted from footing

length 2,000mm, and this(1,840mm)
is divided with spacing 200mm.

D10@300
D10@300
upper part, lower part @150
HD22-8EA

Then 10 reinforcement(at every 9

spacing +1 at the end) is required
here.
Now reinforcement is in two
directions and therefore we need 20
reinforcements.

4) Pillar
Similar to footing, there are many shapes of pillar, that is, triangle, right triangle,
square, rectangle, pentagon. circle, etc.
The worker is recommended to earn a lot of working experience.
Calculation of pillar
In calculation, tie hoop, stirrup, main bars
in column and the others should be
included here.
D10@300
D10@300
upper part, lower part
@150

First extract cover depth from hoop size

(400mm), and cover depth in the basement
and above the ground should be different.

HD22-8EA

Net length cover depth 400 - (40+40) =

320 (dimension)4(4sides) 1,280 +
100mm of hook then, cutoff length is
1,380mm.
Since net length of hook is 100mm, only
100mm of extra length is added here.
If the bar size is D10, one end is hooked
in circular, so 2 times of bar diameter
(20mm) is extracted here, As 5 hooks are
needed and hook length is 100mm at each
end(200mm in total), 80mm is extracted
from 100mm.
Then this 80mm is added to produce
200mm of hook length.

5) Calculation of main rebar

If you will carry-out with 8,000mm rebar including both fixed length(anchor) from
total length of 1 span , you just add the splice length from rebar diameter to use.

Example) Total length 62,000mm + both fixed length(anchor) 1,000mm = Gross Total
63,000mm. When using HD19 rebar, splice length is 1940d = 760mm. Rebar
8,000mm - splice length 760mm = 7,240mm. Gross Total 63,000mm 7,240mm =
8.7 piece (long bar 8piece & rest 5,080mm) Above splice length is 5,080mm
including anchor.
You can calculate it as above , but you have to carry-out the splice position as soon as
closely by calculating several methods if spice position is not fit well.

6) Calculation of top rebar

Please refer to the method in construction site as follows because it is very difficult to
explain in theory.
If 1 span is 8,000mm, 4,000mm will be center part and add 40times(40d) + rebar
thickness is the length of top rebar in center part & end.
You cut as 4,000mm +760mm = 4,760mm.
When assembling current processing status , center part is from beam to upper part
rebar splice position and end is lower part rebar splice position if splice rebar 2 pcs
4,580mm + long bar processed 1pc as upper part rebar and splice rebar 1pc
4,580mm + long bar processed 2pcs as lower part rebar will be used.
And so, you assemble it mutually crossed and upper part is 2 bar from 3 bar from
splice position.

7) Calculation of hoop
If pillar size is width 400mm length 500mm, actual processing size is 320mm,
420mm except cover 40mm each(both 80mm).
When processing hook by hand, it will be included 40mm from total length.
When using Taeyeon's bending machine, it will be included 50mm from total
length .

process size

Cut size : (4202)+(3202)+50 = 1,530mm

Example of hoop usage : To avoid wrong bending of main bar and to restrict inner
concrete , you maintain the space and no problem to assemble with 135hoop at
one side.

8) Calculation of stirrup
If beam size is length 500mm , actual processing size is 420mm , 420mm except
cover 40mm each(both 80mm). If beam size is width 300mm , actual processing
size is 220mm , 220mm except cover 40mm each(both 80mm).
Including hoop 50mm , you can use Taeyeon's bending machine.

END

CENTER

Process size

Cut size : (4202)+(220+50(hook)=1,100mm

Example of stirrup usage : To surround tension & compression bar and to restrict
inner concrete , you maintain the space and bend with over 135as stirrup end
length.
Taeyeon bending machine will be processed 90or 135with free by
manufacturing of special tool & electric circuit.

9) Fact of processing
According to rebar thickness and to bending angle , 2 times of rebar thickness will be
used because of bending by circle of bending part than the length per actual straight line.

10) Changed size if it bent 1 angle per specification

When bending 1 angle, rebar D10 will be increased by 2cm each.
When bending 1 angle, rebar D13 will be increased by 2cm each.
When bending 1 angle, rebar D16 will be increased by 3cm each.
When bending 1 angle, rebar D22~25 will be increased by 5~6cm each.
Because bending part will be bent like R type, rebar will be less used per rebar
diameter.
Regarding processed rebar, it will be less used also by measuring with outside
diameter size.

If actual cut size is D10,

(422)+(32+8(hook)) = 124cm

Note) Process size must be outside diameter size of processed rebar.
