Bar bending schedule (BBS) of two-way slab./ How to calculate the cutting length & weight of rebar's in two-way slab.

  Let us calculate the cutting length & prepare the BBS of the two-way slab as shown below.



Let us redraw the above drawing with dimensions for the calculation purpose as below.



Given data:

Dimension of the slab 

Lx = 5m.= 5000mm. 

Ly = 3m. = 3000mm. 

Thickness = 125mm.


Main bar-1 = 10mm@ 150 c/c

Main bar-2 (or say distribution bar) = 10 mm @ 150 c/c

Top extra bar-1= 8mm @ 150 c/c

Top extra bar-2= 8mm @ 150 c/c

Clear cover of slab = 25mm.

Development length Ld = 45d.


Calculation steps:

1. The no. of bars:

  a. Main bars:

The no. of main bars-1

   = [Lx ÷ bar spacing ] +1

  = [ 5000 ÷ 150] +1

  = 33.33 +1

  = 43.33 nos.

 By rounding off = 44 nos.


 b. Main bars-2:

The no. of main bars-2 ( or say distribution bar)

 = [Ly ÷ bar spacing ] +1

 = [ 3000 ÷ 150] +1

 = 20 +1

21 nos. 



c. Top extra bars-1:

The no. of top extra bars-1 on one side

 = [{(Ly ÷ 4)÷ bar spacing} +1]

 = [{ (3000 ÷ 4) ÷ 150} +1]

 = [{ 750 ÷ 150} +1]

 = [{ 5} +1]

 = 6 nos.

The total no. of top extra bars on both sides

  = [2 sides × 6nos.]

  = 12 nos. 

Note: The top extra bars are provided at the Ly/4 span of the main bar on both sides.


c. Top extra bars-2:

The no. of top extra bars-2 on one side

 = [{(Lx ÷ 4)÷ bar spacing} +1]

 = [{ (5000 ÷ 4) ÷ 150} +1]

 = [{ 1250 ÷ 150} +1]

 = [{ 8.33} +1]

 = 9.33 nos.

 By rounding off = 10 nos.

The total no. of top extra bars on both sides

  = [2 sides × 10nos.]

  = 20 nos. 

Note: The top extra bars are provided at the Lx/4 span of the main bar on both sides.


2. Cutting length:

a. Main bar-1:




Cutting length of the main bar-1

  = [clear span +(2nos. × development length) + (extra crank length) - (2nos. × 45° bend)]

  = [ 3000mm. + ( 2nos. × Ld) + ( 0.42D ) - ( 2nos. × 1d)]


To know why extra crank length is taken as 0.42D, Go through the article 👇

👀. What is 0.42D in a crank bar (bent-up bar) cutting length formula? - its derivation.


Here, D = [slab thickness - ( top & bottom clear cover) + bar diameter ]

                = [125mm - (2nos × 25 mm.) +10mm ]

               =  [125mm - 60 mm]

           D = 65 mm.

Cutting length of the main bar-1

   = [ 3000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45 × 10mm. ) + ( 0.42× 65mm. ) - ( 2nos. × 1× 10mm)]

   = [ 3000mm. + 900mm. + 27.3mm. - 20mm. ]

  = 3907.30 mm. = 3.91m.


To know, why the bend deduction for 45° bend is taken as 1d, Go through the article 👇

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


b. Main bar-2:

Cutting length of the main bar-2

  = [clear span +(2nos. × development length) + (extra crank length) - (2nos. × 45° bend)]

  = [ 5000mm. + ( 2nos. × Ld) + ( 0.42D ) - ( 2nos. × 1d)]

   = [ 5000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45 × 10mm. ) + ( 0.42× 65mm. ) - ( 2nos. × 1× 10mm)]

   = [ 5000mm. + 900mm. + 27.3mm. - 20mm. ]

  = 5907.30 mm. = 5.91m.


c. Top extra bar-1:

 Cutting length of the top extra bar-1

 = [clear span Lx + (2nos. × development length)]

 = [5000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45d )]

 =  [ 5000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45 × 8mm. )]

 = [ 5000mm. + 720mm.]

 = 5720 mm. = 5.72m.


d. Top extra bar-2:

 Cutting length of the top extra bar-2

 = [clear span Ly + (2nos. × development length)]

 = [3000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45d )]

 =  [ 3000mm. + ( 2nos. × 45 × 8mm. )]

 = [ 3000mm. + 720mm.]

 = 3720 mm. = 3.72m.


Let us prepare a BBS table to calculate the weight of the rebars.
