Bar bending schedule (BBS) of a retaining wall. / Calculating the cutting length & weight of reinforcement in a retaining wall.

  Let us make BBS of the retaining wall as shown below.



Given data:

Retaining wall length = 9000mm.= 9m.

Raft width = 2150mm.

Raft depth = 400mm.

Wall height = 2500mm.

Wall width = 300mm

Clear cover = 50mm.


Calculation:

A. Cutting length:

1. Main bar of raft:




Given data:

Reinforcement = T16 @ 150 c/c.

Overlap = 150mm.


Cutting length of raft main bar

= [{2nos.×( a +  b + overlap)} - (5nos. × 90° bend)]

Where, a 

    = [raft width - (2nos. × cover)]

    = [ 2150mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)]

  a = 2050mm.


b  = [raft depth - (2nos. × cover)]

    = [ 400mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)]

  b = 300mm.


Cutting length of raft main bar

= [{2nos.×( 2050mm. +  300mm.+ 150mm.)} - (5nos. × 2d)]

= [ {2nos.× 2500mm} - (5nos. × 2 × 16mm)]

= [ 5000mm - 160mm.]

= 4840mm.

= 4.84m.


2. Distribution bar of raft:

Cutting length of distribution bar of the raft

= [ retaining wall length - (2nos. × cover)]

= [ 9000mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)]

= 8900mm.

= 8.90m.


3. Main bar of RCC wall:

3a. Inner vertical bar:




Given data:

Reinforcement = T16 @ 150 c/c.


Cutting length of the inner vertical bar

= [(300mm.+ a + 150mm.)- (2nos. × 90° bend)]

Where 

a = [(wall height - cover) + (raft depth - cover)]

=  [(2500mm. - 50mm.) + (400mm. - 50mm.)]

= [2450mm. + 350mm.]

a = 2100mm.


Cutting length of the inner vertical bar

= [(300mm.+ 2100mm. + 150mm.) - (2nos. × 2d)]

= [ 2550mm- (2nos. × 2 × 16mm.)]

= [2550mm. - 64mm.]

= 2486 mm.

= 2.486m.


3b. Outer vertical bar:



Given data:

Reinforcement = T12 @ 150 c/c.


Cutting length of the outer vertical bar

= [(300mm.+ a + 150mm.)- (2nos. × 90° bend)]

Where 

a = [(wall height - cover) + (raft depth - cover)]

=  [(2500mm. - 50mm.) + (400mm. - 50mm.)]

= [2450mm. + 350mm.]

a = 2100mm.


Cutting length of the outer vertical bar

= [(300mm.+ 2100mm. + 150mm.) - (2nos. × 2d)]

= [ 2550mm- (2nos. × 2 × 12mm.)]

= [2550mm. - 48mm.]

= 2502 mm.

= 2.5m.


4. Distribution bar of wall:

Cutting length of distribution bar of the wall

= [ retaining wall length - (2nos. × cover)]

= [ 9000mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)]

= 8900mm.

= 8.90m.


5. Link bar:




Cutting length of the link bar 

= [a + (2nos. × 75mm.) - (2nos. × 90° bend)]

Where 

a = [ wall width - (2nos.× cover)] 

   = [300mm.- (2nos.× 50mm.)] 

a = 200mm.


Cutting length of the link bar 

= [200mm + (2nos. × 75mm.) - (2nos. × 2 × 8mm.)]

= [200mm. + 150mm. - 32mm.]

= 318mm.

= 0.318m.


B. No of bars:

1. Main bars of the raft:

No. of main bars in the raft

 = [{retaining wall length - (2nos. × cover)}÷ c/c distance] + 1

 = [{9000mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)}÷ 150mm.] + 1

 = [8900mm. ÷ 150mm.] + 1

= 59.33 +1

= 60.33

By rounding off = 61nos.


2. Distribution bars of the raft:

No. of  distribution bars in the raft

 = [{raft width- (2nos. × cover)}÷ c/c distance] + 1

 = [{2150mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)}÷ 150mm.] + 1

 = [2050mm. ÷ 150mm.] + 1

= 13.66 +1

= 14.66

By rounding off = 15nos.

The distribution bars are provided at the top & bottom sides of the raft.

So, the total no. of distribution bars in the raft

= [2sides × 15nos.]

= 30 nos.


3a. Inner vertical bar

No. of inner vertical bars in the wall

 = [{retaining wall length - (2nos. × cover)}÷ c/c distance] + 1

 = [{9000mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)}÷ 150mm.] + 1

 = [8900mm. ÷ 150mm.] + 1

= 59.33 +1

= 60.33

By rounding off = 61nos.


3b. Outer vertical bar

No. of outer vertical bars is the same as inner vertical bars

= 61 nos.


4. Distribution bars of wall:

No. of  distribution bars in the wall

 = [{wall depth - cover}÷ c/c distance] + 1

 = [{2500mm. - 50mm.}÷ 150mm.] + 1

 = [2450mm. ÷ 150mm.] + 1

= 16.33 +1

= 17.33

By rounding off = 18nos.

The distribution bars are provided at the inner & outer sides of the wall.

So, the total no. of distribution bars in the wall

= [2sides × 18nos.]

= 36 nos.


5. Link bar:


Link bars are provided along the length side & height of the wall as shown in the above drawing.

No. of link bars along the length side

 = [{retaining wall length - (2nos. × cover)}÷ c/c distance] + 1

 = [{9000mm. - (2nos. × 50mm.)}÷ 300mm.] + 1

 = [8900mm. ÷ 300mm.] + 1

= 29.67 +1

= 30.67

By rounding off = 31nos.


No. of link bars along the height side

 = [{wall height - cover}÷ c/c distance] + 1

= [{2500mm. - 50mm.}÷ 300mm.] + 1

 = [2450mm. ÷ 300mm.] + 1

= 8.16 +1

= 9.16

By rounding off = 10nos.


Total no. of link bars required for retaining wall

= [along length side  × along height side]

= [ 31nos.× 10nos.]

= 310nos.
