What is the role of bar bending schedule software in structural steel design?

"Bar bending schedule is used to communicate the design requirement of reinforcement steel to the fabricator and execution team and to enumerate the weight of each size of steel."

Why not just post all the test questions at once to save time?

How else would the Designer communicate how much of what is to go in?

Methinks me smells a test question or homework question.

Why all the reliance on computer software? Learn to do it the old fashion way FIRST, by calculating in manually.

That way, you'll be more familiar with the standards and protocols. As an added benefit, you'll be able to spot ERRORS. Remember, "Garbage IN, Garbage OUT".

The current crop of engineers has become too reliant on computers to do everything. Bad JuJu, if you ask me. Everything has become rout, with no actual thinking involved. That is DANGEROUS.

Good post!

That seems to be a big problem in industry today.

To err is human, it takes a computer to really foul thing up!

What did happen to the good old fashioned way?? How did we ever manage to get anything designed or answer any mathematical questions when all we had were slide rules and log tables? And to make the presentation neat, typewriters.

I'm guilty of using today's modern computing equipment, but,, I always think back to my educational roots.

For me, the bar bending schedule is used mainly to communicate the design requirement of reinforcement steel to the fabricator and execution team and to enumerate the weight of each size of steel.

Bar bending schedule (or schedule of bars) is a list of reinforcement bars, vis-à-vis, a given RCC work item, and is presented in a tabular form for easy visual reference. This table summarizes all the needed particulars of bars – diameter, shape of bending, length of each bent and straight portions, angles of bending, total length of each bar, and number of each type of bar. This information is a great help in preparing an estimate of quantities.
