What is the weith 168x27-7 rebar?
You need the size of the rebar involved to calculate the weight. Charts can be found at CRSI.org or Rebarapps.com. Than take that and multiply it by the the length of the rebar. For example, a #4 rebar weighs 0.668 lbs/ft. If you have 5 @ 20-00 pieces that is 0.668 X 20 X 5 = 67 lbs. You need to know the size of the bar to calculate.

Rebar submitals where can you go to get them?
Typically there are two types of submittals for rebar. the first is placing drawings. These drawings will act as a set of instructions for fabrication and installation of the rebar. These drawings can be created and supplied by the rebar fabricator or a specialized outside detailer can provide them for you. The second is the actual product data which indicates the mill the material came from, its chemistry composition and production information. For this, the fabricator or supply house you purchase the rebar from should be able to supply you with the sheet data you need. Both the placing drawing and material data sheets will be submitted to the architect and engineer of record to review and verify that the rebar conforms with their intent and design.

Your site engineers prepare bbs in the site they directly give the bbs to the bar benders is this a correct approach?
This is an incorrect approach. The current method is the reason for the steel wastage. The steel saving is left to the hands of Bar Benders and site engineers.A scientifically proven system, to save steel in the construction projects is the need of the hour.Steel saving starts with the Rebar Detailed engineering. This is also called as Rebar Detailing. A professional Rebar Placing drawing and an optimized Bar Bending schedule (BBS) are the targeted output of the Rebar detailing.
