Bar bending schedule is a tabular representation of the reinforcement bar and it’s crucial for each type of R.C.C work. Bar bending schedule refers to a vital structural working document that is used for obtaining the dispositions, bending shape, and total length of all the reinforcements included in the structural drawing along with the quantity. With the help of a bar bending schedule, the requirement of different lengths and sizes of bars may be known and can be arranged and bent up during the time of construction. A bar bending schedule is commonly prepared while estimating an R.C.C. work or structure.

Advantages of bar bending schedule

• Quantities of steel reinforcement of different diameters and different grades are calculated easily. 
• Ideas of different sizes of bars, bends and lengths of bars can be easily acquired through a schedule of bars. 
• During the auditing of reinforcement on the construction site, the bar bending schedule becomes very helpful. 
• Moreover, it helps to avoid confusion on the construction site. 
• It provides the exact quantity of steel required for work due to which optimization of reinforcement can be done in case of cost overrun.
• The bar bending schedule makes it easy for site engineers to check and verify the cutting length and bar bending while inspecting on the site. 
• At the end of the entire work, the construction bills can be easily created with the help of these schedules of bars.
