How to calculate rebar cutting length in a beam with lapping? / Calculating the cutting length of rebar's for lapping in a beam.

Let us calculate the cutting length of the top & bottom bar of a beam as shown below.






Given data:

Beam width = 300mm.

Beam depth = 550mm.

Column width = 400mm.

Effective length L1= 6m = 6000mm.

Effective length L2 = 5.5m. = 5500mm.

Top reinforcement = 20mm ∅ - 2nos.

Bottom  reinforcement = 25mm ∅ - 2nos.

Clear cover = 30mm.

Development length Ld = 50d.

Lapping length = 50d.


Calculation:

A. Cutting length:

1. Bottom bar:

 Total length of the bottom bar

= [L1 + L2+ (2nos. × development length) - (2nos. × 1/2 × column width) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [6000mm. + 5500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)  - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [6000mm. + 5500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 25mm.) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)- ( 2nos. × 2× 25mm.)]

= [ 11500mm. +  (2500mm.) - (400mm.)- ( 100mm.)]

13,500mm.

= 13.50m  > 12m.

The total length (13.50m.) is greater than the available bar length(12m.). Hence there will be lapping in the bar.


Before proceeding further, Go through the article 👇

👀. Where to provide lapping in beam reinforcement?

So that you will understand the correct position of lapping in the beam & the basic rules of lapping.


a. Cutting length of the part-1 of the bottom bar

= [L1 + (development length) + (half of lap length ) - (1/2 × column width) - ( 1no × 90° bend)]

= [ 6000mm. + (50d) + ( 1/2 × 50d) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2d)]

= [ 6000mm. + (50 × 25mm  ) + ( 1/2 × 50 × 25mm. ) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2 × 25mm.)]

= [ 6000mm. + (1250mm  ) + ( 625mm. ) - ( 200mm.) - (50mm.)]

= 7625mm.

= 7.625m.


b. Cutting length of the part-2 of the bottom bar

= [L2 + (development length) + (half of lap length ) - (1/2 × column width) - ( 1no × 90° bend)]

= [ 5500mm. + (50d) + ( 1/2 × 50d) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2d)]

= [ 5500mm. + (50 × 25mm  ) + ( 1/2 × 50 × 25mm. ) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2 × 25mm.)]

= [ 5500mm. + (1250mm  ) + ( 625mm. ) - ( 200mm.) - (50mm.)]

= 7125mm.

= 7.125m.


Check:

[Total length of bar + lap length ] = [cutting length of (part-1 + part-2)]

[13500mm + 50d] = [7625mm. +7125mm.]

[13500mm. + 50 × 25mm.] = 14750mm.

14750mm = 14750mm.  



2. Top bar:

 Total length of the top bar

= [L1 + L2+ (2nos. × development length) - (2nos. × 1/2 × column width) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [6000mm. + 5500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)  - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [6000mm. + 5500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 20mm.) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)- ( 2nos. × 2× 20mm.)]

= [ 11500mm. +  (2000mm.) - (400mm.)- ( 80mm.)]

13,020mm.

= 13.02m  > 12m

The total length (13.02m.) is greater than the available bar length(12m.). Hence there will be lapping in the bar.


a. Cutting length of the part-1 of the top bar 

= [L1 +( L2/2) + (development length) + (half of lap length ) - (1/2 × column width) - (90° bend)]

= [ 6000mm. + (5500mm.÷ 2) + (50d) + ( 1/2 × 50d) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2d)]

= [ 6000mm. + (2750mm.) + (50 × 20mm  ) + ( 1/2 × 50 × 20mm. ) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2 × 20mm.)]

= [ 6000mm. + (2750mm.) + (1000mm  ) + ( 500mm. ) - ( 200mm.) - (40mm.)]

= 10,010mm.

= 10.010m.


b. Cutting length of the part-2 of the top bar 

= [( L2/2) + (development length) + (half of lap length ) - (1/2 × column width) - (90° bend)]

= [ (5500mm.÷ 2) + (50d) + ( 1/2 × 50d) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2d)]

= [ (2750mm.) + (50 × 20mm  ) + ( 1/2 × 50 × 20mm. ) - (1/2 × 400mm.) - ( 2 × 20mm.)]

= [(2750mm.) + (1000mm  ) + ( 500mm. ) - ( 200mm.) - (40mm.)]

= 4,010mm.

= 4.010m.


Check:

[Total length of bar + lap length ] = [cutting length of (part-1 + part-2)]

[13020mm + 50d] = [10010mm. +4010mm.]

[13020mm. + 50 × 20mm.] = 14,020mm.

14,020mm = 14,020mm.

Given data:

Beam width = 300mm.

Beam depth = 550mm.

Column width = 400mm.

Column length = 480mm.

Effective length L1= 5m = 5000mm.

Effective length L2 = 4.5m. = 4500mm.

Top continuous reinforcement = 20mm ∅ - 2nos.

Top curtail reinforcement (EOS bar) =      20mm ∅ - 2nos.

Bottom continuous reinforcement = 25mm ∅ - 2nos.

Bottom curtail reinforcement     = 20mm ∅ - 2nos.

Stirrup at zone-1 = 8mm∅ @ 100c/c

Stirrup at zone-2 = 8mm∅ @ 125c/c. 

Clear cover = 30mm.

Development length Ld = 50d


Calculation:

A. Cutting length:

a. Bottom bar:

1. Cutting length of the continuous bottom bar

= [L1 + L2+ (2nos. × development length) - (2nos. × 1/2 × column width) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [5000mm. + 4500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)  - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [5000mm. + 4500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 25mm.) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)- ( 2nos. × 2× 25mm.)]

= [ 9500mm. +  (2500mm.) - (400mm.)- ( 100mm.)]

11,500mm.

= 11.50m. < 12m.

The total length (11.50m.) is less than the available bar length(12m.). Hence there will be no lapping in the bar.

If the total cutting length exceeds 12m., the cutting length should be calculated as given in the below-linked article.



2. Cutting length of the bottom mid curtail bar-1

= [L1 - {0.1L1 + 0.15L1}]

= [5000mm. - {(0.1× 5000mm. ) + ( 0.15 × 5000mm.)}]

= [5000mm. - {(500mm. ) + (750mm.)}]

= [ 5000mm. - 1250mm ]

3750mm.

= 3.75m.


3. Cutting length of the bottom mid curtail bar-2

= [L2 - {0.1L2 + 0.15L2}]

= [4500mm. - {(0.1× 4500mm. ) + ( 0.15 × 4500mm.)}]

= [4500mm. - {(450mm. ) + (675mm.)}]

= [ 4500mm. - 1125mm ]

3375mm.

= 3.375m.


b. Top bar:

4. Cutting length of the continuous top bar

= [L1 + L2+ (2nos. × development length) - (2nos. × 1/2 × column width) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [5000mm. + 4500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)  - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [5000mm. + 4500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 20mm.) - (2nos. × 1/2 × 400mm.)- ( 2nos. × 2× 20mm.)]

= [ 9500mm. +  (2000mm.) - (400mm.)- ( 80mm.)]

11,020mm.

= 11.02m. < 12m.


5. Cutting length of the top left curtail bar

= [(L1/4) + (development length) - ( 90° bend) ]

= [(5000mm.÷ 4) + (50d) - (2d)]

= [1250mm. + (50 × 20mm.) - ( 2 ×20mm. )]

= [ 1250mm. +1000mm.- 40mm ] 

= 2210mm.

= 2.21m.


6. Cutting length of the top mid curtail bar

= [L1/4 + column width +L2/4]

= [5000/4 + 400mm. + 4500/4]

= [ 1250mm. + 400mm. +1125mm.]

2775mm.

= 2.775m.


7. Cutting length of the top right curtail bar

= [(L2/4) + (development length) - ( 90° bend) ]

= [(4500mm.÷ 4) + (50d) - (2d)]

= [1250mm. + (50 × 20mm.) - ( 2 ×20mm. )]

= [ 1125mm. +1000mm.- 40mm ] 

= 2085mm.

= 2.085m.


c. Stirrup:

8. The cutting length of the stirrup bar

= [{2nos. ×  (a +b )} + (2nos.× hook length) -  ( 3nos. × 90° bend) - (2nos. ×135° bend )]





Where,

  a = {beam width - (2 × cover) - (2 × 1/2 × stirrup dia.)} 

     = {300mm. - (2 × 30mm.) - ( 2 × 1/2 × 8mm.)}

     = {300mm. - (60mm.) - (8mm.)}

     = 232mm.


 b = {beam depth - (2 × cover) - (2 × 1/2 × stirrup dia.)} 

     = {550mm. - (2 × 30mm.) - ( 2 × 1/2 × 8mm.)}

     = {550mm. - (60mm.) - (8mm.)}

     = 482mm.


The cutting length of the stirrup

= [{2 nos. × (232mm. + 482mm.)} + (2nos ×10d ) - (3 nos. × 2d ) - (2 nos. × 3d) ]


To know, why we take bend deductions, Go through the article 👇

👀.  What are bend deductions for different angles in reinforcement bars?


Note:  Here, hook length is taken as 10d.


The cutting length of the stirrup

 = [{2 nos. × 714mm.} + (2nos. ×  10 × 8mm) - ( 3 nos. × 2 × 8mm ) - ( 2 nos. × 3 × 8 mm.)]

 = [1428mm. + 160 mm - 48mm - 48mm.]

 = [1588mm. - 96 mm.]

 = 1492 mm i.e. 1.492 m.


B. No. of  stirrups:




For clear span C1:

1. Stirrups in left span:

No. of stirrups

= [{( C1 /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } + 1]

Where,

C1= [(Effective span L1) - (2nos.× 1/2 of column width)]

     = [(5000mm.) - (2 × 1/2 × 400mm.)]

     = 4600mm.


No. of stirrups

     = [{( 4600mm. /3) ÷ 100mm. } + 1]

     = [{1533.33mm. ÷ 100mm. } + 1]

     =   [15.33 +1]

     = 16.33 nos. 

By rounding off = 17 nos.


2. Stirrups in mid-span:

No. of stirrups

     = [{( C1 /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } - 1]

     = [{( 4600mm. /3) ÷ 125mm. } - 1]

     = [{1533.33mm. ÷ 125mm. } - 1]

     =   [12.26 -1]

     = 11.26 nos. 

By rounding off = 11 nos.


3. Stirrups in right span:

Stirrups in right span = stirrups in the left span = 17 nos.


Note:

1. As the spacing is the same, the left & right spans have equal no of stirrups.

2. As we have added 2nos. of stirrups in the left & right span, we have to deduct 1no. from the mid-span.


Total no. of stirrups in span C1

= Stirrups in [left +mid +right]

= [17nos. + 11nos. + 17nos.]

= 45 nos.


For clear span C2:

4. Stirrups in left span:

No. of stirrups

     = [{( C2 /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } + 1]

Where,

C2= [(Effective span L2) - (2nos.× 1/2 of column width)]

     = [(4500mm.) - (2 × 1/2 × 400mm.)]

     = 4100mm.


No. of stirrups

     = [{( 4100mm. /3) ÷ 100mm. } + 1]

     = [{1366.66mm. ÷ 100mm. } + 1]

     =   [13.66 +1]

     = 14.66 nos. 

By rounding off = 15 nos.


2. Stirrups in mid-span:

No. of stirrups

       = [{( C2 /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } - 1]

       = [{( 4100mm. /3) ÷ 125mm. } - 1]

      = [{1366.66mm. ÷ 125mm. } - 1]

      =   [10.93 -1]

      = 9.93 nos. 

By rounding off = 10 nos.


3. Stirrups in right span:

Stirrups in right span = stirrups in the left span = 15 nos.


Total no. of stirrups in span C2

= Stirrups in [left +mid +right]

= [15nos. + 10nos. + 15nos.]

40 nos.


The total no. of stirrups in the beam

= Stirrups in [span C1 + span C2] 

= [45 nos. + 40 nos.]

85 nos.

Bar bending schedule (BBS) of RCC beam. (Type-1) / How to calculate the cutting length & weight of rebar's in RCC beam.

 Let us calculate the cutting length & weight of rebars in the RCC beam as shown in the below-given drawing.








Given data:

Beam width = 300mm.

Beam depth = 550mm.

Clear span = 4500mm. = 4.5m.

Top reinforcement = 16mm ∅ - 2nos.

Bottom rebar 1st layer = 20mm ∅ - 2nos.

Bottom rebar 2nd layer = 16mm ∅ - 2nos.

Stirrup at zone-1 = 8mm∅ @ 125c/c

Stirrup at zone-2 = 8mm∅ @ 150c/c. 

Clear cover = 30mm.

Spacer bar = 25mm∅

Development length Ld = 50d


Calculation:

A. Cutting length:

1. Bottom layer-1 bar:

Cutting length of the main bar

= [clear span + (2nos. × development length) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [4500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [4500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 20mm.) - ( 2nos. × 2× 20mm.)]

= [ 4500mm. + 2000mm - 80mm.]

= 6420mm.


2. Bottom layer-2 bar:

Cutting length of the bar

= [clear span + (2nos. × development length) - ( 2nos. × 90° bend)]

= [4500mm. + (2nos. × 50d) - ( 2nos. × 2d)]

= [4500mm. + (2nos. ×50 × 16mm.) - ( 2nos. × 2× 16mm.)]

= [ 4500mm. + 1600mm - 64mm.]

= 6036mm.


3. Top bar:

As the dia. of top bar = dia of 2nd layer bar,

The cutting length will be the same i.e. = 6036mm.


4. Spacer bar:

The cutting length 

= [beam width - (2nos. × clear cover) +10mm]

= [300mm.- ( 2nos. × 30mm.) + 10mm.]

= 250mm.


5. Stirrup bar:

The cutting length of the stirrup bar

= [{2nos. ×  (a +b )} + (2nos.× hook length) -  ( 3nos. × 90° bend) - (2nos. ×135° bend )]



Where,

  a = {beam width - (2 × cover)} 

     = {300mm. - (2 × 30mm.)}

     = 240mm.


 b = {beam depth - (2 × cover)}

     = {550mm. - (2 × 30mm.)}

     = 490mm.


The cutting length of the stirrup

= [{2 nos. × (240mm. + 490mm.)} + (2nos ×10d ) - (3 nos. × 2d ) - (2 nos. × 3d) ]


To know, why we take bend deductions, Go through the article 👇

👀.  What are bend deductions for different angles in reinforcement bars?


Note:  Here, hook length is taken as 10d.

 = [{2 nos.×730mm.} + (2nos. ×10 × 8mm) - ( 3 nos. × 2 × 8mm ) - ( 2 nos. × 3 × 8 mm.)]

= [1460mm. + 160 mm - 48mm - 48mm.]

= [1620mm. - 96 mm.]

= 1524 mm i.e. 1.524 m.


B. No. of bars:

1. Stirrups for zone-1:

No. of stirrups

= 2 sides × [{( clear span of the beam /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } + 1]

= 2 sides ×[{( 4500mm. /3) ÷ 125mm. } + 1]

= 2 sides × [{1500mm. ÷ 125mm. } + 1]

=  2 × [12 +1]

= 2× 13 nos.

= 26 nos.


2. Stirrups for zone-2:

No. of stirrups

= [{( clear span of the beam /3) ÷ stirrup spacing } -1]

= [{( 4500mm. /3) ÷ 150mm. } - 1]

= [{1500mm. ÷ 150mm. } - 1]

= [10 -1]

= 9 nos.

The total no. of the stirrup.

= stirrups in [zone-1 + zone-2]

= [26nos. + 9nos.]

= 35 nos.

Note:

As we have added 2nos. of stirrups in zone-1, we have to deduct 1no. from zone-2.


3. Spacer bar:

The no of spacer bars

= [{clear span ÷ 1000mm. } + 1]

= [ {4500mm ÷ 1000mm. } + 1]

= [4.5 +1]

= 5.5nos. 

By rounding off = 6 nos.
