There is a lot of information on a schedule, and once you work out what it all means and can find a shape code table then it becomes quite easy. However, it does feel like a foreign language when you first look at it. You can find shape code diagrams across the internet - try this one for example: http://www.ROM.co.UK/products/shape-codes.aspx
You will have a code which relates to where the bar is on the rebar drawing (which is normally the difficult bit to decode!), and the schedule will tell you information based on BS8666 (in UK), such as the shape (based on the shape code), the diameter of the bar in millimetres preceded by the type of steel to be used, the overall length of each bar, the number of bars, the number of locations you will find the bars in, and the breakdown of lengths depending in the shape.
I recommend just trying to use them regularly, they become second nature after a while.
What else can I help you with?
How stirrups are fixed in Reinforcement for concrete slab?
I assume they would be tied using tie-wire to the rest of the rebar cage.
How can concrete slab reinforcement be effectively implemented to enhance the structural integrity and durability of a building foundation?
Concrete slab reinforcement can be effectively implemented by using materials such as rebar or wire mesh to strengthen the foundation. This reinforcement helps distribute the load evenly and prevent cracking, enhancing the structural integrity and durability of the building foundation.
Do you need rebar for a 4-inch slab?
Yes, it is recommended to use rebar for a 4-inch slab to provide additional strength and prevent cracking.
Difference between one way and two way slab in reinforcement?
A one way slab reinforcement supports 2 walls while a two way slab reinforcement supports 4 walls. The one way slab reinforcement only supports walls in one direction.
How do you piles rebar bent to slab?
To pile rebar bent to a slab, first determine the required lengths and bends based on the slab design and structural specifications. Using a rebar bender, create the necessary bends at specified angles while ensuring the rebar is adequately supported. Once bent, position the rebar according to the slab’s layout, securing it with ties or supports to maintain proper spacing and alignment before pouring the concrete. Always follow engineering guidelines to ensure structural integrity.
What is the maximum aggregate size allowed in concrete slab that is 6inches thick?
2" based strictly on the slab thickness. However, it may be governed by form spacing, rebar spacing or rebar clearance to the forms.
What are the best practices for installing footers for a concrete slab?
The best practices for installing footers for a concrete slab include properly excavating the area, compacting the soil, placing a layer of gravel for drainage, installing rebar for reinforcement, and pouring the concrete evenly. It is important to follow local building codes and ensure the footers are level and properly aligned to support the weight of the slab.
What will be minimum covering for roof slab?
The minimum covering of reinforcement for roof slab is 30mm
5 concrete slab with no reinforcement?
Ok to create a slab with no reinforcement, you have to remove tensile forces from the slab, this is only possible by manipulating its shape for only compressive forces, like make it a bit pyramidal or with a vault etc.
What are the best materials to use for constructing an air conditioner slab to ensure stability and longevity?
The best materials for constructing an air conditioner slab for stability and longevity are typically concrete or reinforced concrete. These materials provide a strong and durable foundation that can withstand the weight and vibrations of the air conditioner unit over time. Additionally, using proper reinforcement such as rebar can further enhance the strength and longevity of the slab.
What is meant by main reinforcement in one way slab?
The reinforcement resisting flexure (bending) in the direction of the span.
Do you need to use wire mesh or rebar if im having fibermesh mixed with my concrete?
You still need rebar, unless you are filling a drop in an existing slab that already has steel in it.
