How much rebar for 20 x 60 x 8 inch slab?
To determine the amount of rebar needed for a 20 x 60 x 8 inch slab, you first need to calculate the perimeter and then the spacing of the rebar. For a typical slab, rebar is usually placed at 12 to 18 inches apart in each direction. Assuming you use #4 rebar (0.5 inches in diameter) spaced at 16 inches on center, you would need approximately 8 pieces of rebar along the 20-inch side and 5 pieces along the 60-inch side, totaling around 13 lengths of rebar, considering overlaps and cut-offs. Always consult local building codes and structural engineers to confirm specific rebar requirements for your project.
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.

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.
