Bar bending schedule for beam is the arrangement of bar as per length and diameter of bar. The structural drawing of reinforced beam is prepared as per design load of the structure and it should follow the standard code of practice in respective country like IS 456 for India. For preparation of bar bending schedule …
Plinth Beam Plinth beam is a beam in a framed structure provided at ground level. It also known as a tie beam because it binds the column. So it reduces the length of column and slenderness ratio. It may not carry any slab load and designed to carry its own self weight and masonry load …

Development Length of steel Reinforcement Bar Development lenth is the length of the bar which is used to transfer the stress of steel into concrete. This is mainly bend or hook length in case of beam and column, i.e. tension and compression member respectively. Development Length is denoted by Ld Ld = (Nominal dia …
