Determining Beam and Girder Reinforcement
Saturday, 12 April 2008 08:34
The Direct counting so far is the best method in determining the main reinforcement of beams and girders. However, in determining the length of steel bars, the following physical conditions of the beam relation with their support must be considered.

1. Verify the plan if the span of the column where the beam is resting  indicates the following conditions:

a. Center to center of the column
b. Outer to the center of the column
c. Outer to outer side of the column
d. Inside to inside span

2. Verify the splicing position of the reinforcement if it is adjusted to the commercial length of steel bars. The lesser the splice, the lesser is the cost.

3. Identify the bars with bend and hook, for adjustment of their order length.
