Rebar Arrangement and Construction Carryout

Section 1
REBAR ARRANGEMENT &

CONSTRUCTION CARRYOUT
1. Understanding of Drawing
1) Examination of drawing
When construction contract is completed, the contents of the drawings are surveyed
and checked before construction work.
Although it is a rule to survey the drawings right from the 1st page, it is common to
check the scale and the number of floors of the building and then plan, elevation,
exterior appearance, lines and windows of the building .
Not only orientation, precautions and specifications, but front elevation, rear side
elevation, right side elevation, left side elevation, partial development, partial section,
and detail section, etc should be also looked over to be reminded in the construction
site.
As construction work progresses , present work should be checked and compared
with instructions on the drawings , and an entire understanding of drawings should be
preceded before the next step.
Plan, structural plan, foundation, section, etc are checked if there is any suspicious
portion because all the drawings are not made by only 1 person.
There is also necessity of discussion when there is any question or changes in the
work.
In order to make smooth and steady progress of the work, a lot of time and repeated
practice are required.
In case of small scale of construction , it is progressed from the ground to the upper
floor in general , however there is no determined rule.
As construction work is not a simple one but rather complicated, it is difficult or

impossible to explain all of the construction methods satisfactorily in written or spoken
words alone.
Clear understanding of basic knowledge is quite helpful.
Plan of reinforcement should be drawn before reinforcement , however , when the
scale of construction is large , plan of reinforcement is given in advance or shop
reinforcement are also available .
Although the trend has been to increase the usage of shop reinforcement for the
smooth progress in the crowded city , field reinforcement is explained in this book due
to the necessity of prompt applications in the field and its convenience.
Every reinforcement has its own rule , however it could be changed when necessary
under the permission of supervisor.
For example , hooks at the tip of stirrup could be changed from Figure 1 to Figure 2.
Figure 1
Figure 2
2)What is drawing?
Drawings are used in every industrial field with the development of industries.
Although their types and applications are different, there are agreed rules that are
called IPC(International Graphic Code), accepted by everyone in each field.
Specified rules and standards with reference to symbols, numbers, lines and letters are
adapted to drawings to help everyone understand what they mean.
When one begins to construct a building, one should carefully consider the
implications of drawings.
In this book, plan of reinforcement is briefed to help the workers understand them
more easily.
Drawings of construction work are grouped roughly as civil engineering and
architecture.
Although there are some differences, all the contents could be understood since they
are all in accordance with IPC mentioned above.
3) Classification of drawing
Shop Drawing
Drawings that suggest overall dimensions of each member with symbols, numbers
and lines for the construction work
Detailed Drawing
Detailed drawings that describe shapes , types and dimensions of each element for
the bar-fabrication
Understanding of Drawing
Drawings are in their own sequence beginning with the title and contents on the 1st
page.
Structure drawing of Rebar is for this case.
There are several types of drawings which include machinery, electricity,
sanitation, fire protection, communication, etc according to the type of work and
there are details as follows.
A) Construction
i. Building layout
ii. Elevation
iii. Plane figure
iv. Cross Section
v. Part Detailed drawing
B) Structure
i. Drawing of column center
ii. Plane figure of structure
iii. Drawing of stairway and slab rebar arrangement
iv. List of pillar , beam and retaining walls
v. Detailed drawing of rahmen rebar arrangement
C) In general, the order of drawing is in a sequence mentioned above, and all the
drawings are in scale.
Scale (All the units in "mm")
Among several types of rulers used in drawings, scale is indispensable.
There are many types of scale. Among them 300mm scale is frequently used.
It has carved line in the middle of each side, colored red, blue and black to
distinguish its scale.
Scale in red

2. Characteristic of Rebar
Throughout the reinforcement work, reinforcing bar strongly bonds to mixed concrete
and this makes floor, wall and other members very strong.
In other words, reinforcement is a bar that is embedded in the mixed concrete to make
a member strong.
Bar and concrete have low thermal expansion coefficients, 110-5 , and therefore
have little thermal deformation or failure, cooperatively strengthening members.

2) Classification of rebar
Regular bars : The length of one strip is 8,000mm by KS(Korean Standard).
Each bundle has almost same weight. (basis of 1-2 ton)
Irregular bars : Irregular bars that are made of leftovers or nonuniform bars.
Reinforcing bars that are mainly used in the construction site are SD40 high
strength steel and SD30A mild steel, Each bar is colored yellow(HD) and green(D)
respectively in order to identify them.
Mild steel usually used as processed goods such as hoop , stirrup , etc.

3) Type & Weight of rebar

If the worker in the construction site prepare the bars more than needed, there
might be rust on the surface of the rebar.
To prevent oxidation of the bar, it is advised to prepare moderate amount of the
bars.
When you need to pile the bars near the construction site, they should be classified
and piled on the big gravels to make the ventilation easy.
And also cover the stocked bars to avoid humidity.
There are usually two types of deformed steel used in the construction work.
SD30A(mild bar) - normal strength bar, has green-colored end
SD 40(high tension bar) - high strength bar, has yellow-colored end

3. Calculation for unit weight of Rebar

1) Unit weight
Unit weight is the weight of bar per 1m.
FYI, the basic value in drawing and the length of rebar is mm.
When calculating unit weight, you must convert into m from mm.

2) Calculation of length(L) in model
4. Criterion of Rebar arrangement

1) Rebar coating
It means the shortest distance to the surface of concrete to cover rebar surface.
Rebar coating thickness of each part must be considered in the period of plan after
considering durability, refractory, safety in structure endurance & errors in
construction carry-out.
There are examples of coating case as ground criterion for all construction without
segmenting the case of ground and also the case of foundation regularly.
By the effect of CO2, humidity, acid gas, there will be going on of neutralization
step by step from the surface of concrete.
If the coating is small, its speed to arrive rebar will be faster .
If so, the rust will expand, the adhesion of concrete coating will drop, white
phenomenon will exist, senility of structure body will facilitate.

In Shear wall, the

arrangement of rebar
should be to the inside
of vertical rebar.
Regarding wall, horizontal rebar should be arranged to the outside of vertical rebar.
Regarding outside wall in underground which compressed by the land, more
arranged rebar should be arranged to the outside after comparing the arrangement
quantity between vertical rebar and horizontal rebar.
2) Rebar distance
Classification

3) Type of tying
Regarding the working of tying , there are folded tying(lap splice) , compressed
tying(welded splice) , mechanical spiral tying(mechanical splice).
But compressed tying(welded splice) , mechanical spiral tying(mechanical splice)
have to be effected over 125% of resistance strength(fy) in plan criterion.
Folded tying (lap splice)
It is tying method to fold the fixed length from end part to new tying part by using
regular rope currently.

1. The length of folded tying of rebars which have different diameter must over high value between the fixed
length of high diameter rebar and the folded tying length of low diameter rebar .
2. The tying position must be placed to low stress / to compressed stress of concrete.
3. By the criterion of concrete structure plan , it is mentioned that it is available for folded tying in case of
D29~D35 rebar.
However, you have to check in advance the problem such as the net distance of rebar is not secured and
also the tying length will be exaggerated if you apply folded tying of thick rebar.
Generally, there are more advantageous case by using mechanical tying instead of folded tying in case of
over D29 rebar.
A class tying : must be zigzag(rotation) tying arrangement and arranged rebar quantity is over 2 times of
required rebar quantity which defined in total block of tying part and also under 50% of rebar tying
quantity within required folded length.
B class tying : it is available for the tying of anti-earthquake plan and generally it is applicable to all
construction site.
Regarding SD500 , you must apply 1.25times of B class tying.
Regarding beam main bar tying , you must apply B class tying if you don't
mention tying position specially.
But, you can apply A class tying if you want to tying the compressed part of
concrete. (the compressed part of concrete : upper part main bar places near center
part of span, lower part main bar places near pillar)
The tying length of wall vertical length is available around 40db of under HD19
especially.

Compressed tying(welded splice)

It is the tying method to compress through heat-treatment end to end by using
machinery.
As shown in figure(A) , place 2 bars 3mm away , heat up both of the ends by using
mechanical equipment and add pressure to weld splice them figure(B), usually
available for all bars.
Mechanical spiral tying(mechanical splice).
As the mechanical splice method , it is rebar tying method to connect the spiral
part with nut & coupling by cutting screw by expanding the end of rebar over the
regular size.

4) Fixing and tying

In order to effect the adequate resistance strength of rebar, it is essential to obtain
the enough adhesion strength with concrete.
The more you increase the net distance & coating thickness of rebar, the larger of
adhesion strength.
Fixing length is the buried length in concrete to effect the adequate resistance
strength of rebar and fix the length with the criterion of max. stress point of
appropriate rebar.
The fixing and tying length of rebar is changing by the strength of material and
type of rebar arrangement , etc.
i. It will be lengthen by using HD(high density) rebar.(SD40 is 1.33times of
SD30A)
ii. It will be shorten by using HD concrete.(inverse proportion from square root of
concrete strength)
iii. It will be shorten if net distance and coating thickness of rebar increase.
iv. It will be shorten by the restriction effect if it is surrounded by stirrup and tie
hoop.
Caution : If the fixing and tying length of rebar will be shorten , the resistance
strength of rebar will be reduced as long as the shortened length.
Also, in case the heavy binding of splice part of rebar needlessly sometimes,
binding has only the role to prevent the movement of rebar when pouring concrete
and also no relation to adhesion strength of rebar. (the tensile of a D25 rebar is
5.04 4.0=20.16tonf)
If the position of extended rebar for the tying of poured concrete is wrong, it is
available for bending of splice with the angle of under
if error is trivial but you
need to take additional action to increase the section of additional material if error
is over that angle.
In case slab or wall rebar will be cutted by temporary exit such as material pick-up
exit, etc, you must extend the rebar which is over the length of splice to both ends
of exit.
If width of exit is narrow or the length of rebar extended is shorten , the length of
splice will be shorten when pouring exit concrete later.

tension bar : The main usage is tension bar because rebar is reinforced material
to reinforce the tension of weak point of concrete.
compression bar : the rebar to be arranged in addition to increase the resistance
strength in concrete material and it is mainly applicable to the pillar of high
building to cover the compression.

6. Tying method of Rebar

When tying the bars, the hook is used in Korea and Japan.
While in other countries, the wrench is used.
Tying the bars requires many times of practice.
All the places that two bars meet are recommended to tie.
However, it is usually accepted to skip all other crossing point in case of light-loaded
bars.
There are several types of binding the bars such as cross tie, Saddle tie with twist,
wall tie and double string tie, etc.
1) Cross tie
Ties to fix the stirrup onto beam ties to prevent hoop from slipping down
2) Double string tie

Same procedure when you use hook to tie the bars mostly used in Asian countries
applicable to many construction sites such as wall, slab, etc.
You must tie different tying each bars.
3) Saddle tie with twist

Ties the bars in high beam or wall to fix them firmly
or to avoid twisting off
4) Wall tie
- The same procedures as saddle tie with twist and tie
it as the method of right picture
- Ties the bars that extend from the wall to keep the
required positions and distances between them
5) References
Every crossing point of the bars at the bottom span should be tied, and wound
more than 3 times.
When tying the bars at the top span, tie the bar changing the tying direction(one
time to left and next to the right)
When tying the bars in a slab, you may skip every other, but it is better to wind the
hoop before tying the bars.
It is advised to wind the hoop 3 times at the important crossing point.
There are several kinds of ties, and in construction works, #20 tie is normally used
in folded state.
7. Bar support , Spacer

Bar support is usually to hold the location of placed bars, and spacer maintains the
cover depth of a member as intended.
In addition, they also prevent dispersions of located bars due to high impacts and
undesirable vibrations.
Especially in reinforced concrete, cover depth, which is one of the important
factors for durability, should be seriously considered.
Undoubtedly, bar support and spacer should be strong or even stronger enough to
to support the bar and endure high impacts
When metal is used to reinforcement, spacer must have special rust protection on
the portions nearest the face of the concrete by attaching pvc cap.

8. Conventional processing work tools

Once the construction work is initiated, reinforcement needs to be manufactured,
several different tools are used depending on the type of work.
1) Types of conventional tools.

Bending die : die to bend the bar on
Bender : bends the bars
Hammer : adds force to cut the bar
Lower cutting blade
Upper cutting blade
Mat plate to fix the cutbar
Various types of bar bender and bar cutter are available(see Chapter.3)
2) Preparation before reinforcement of rebar work

Fabricate the bar bending die (The height should be about 850mm).
Prepare the power cable to connect the bending machine and binding machine
Prepare chalk or other writing instrument to mark the dimension.
Prepare the tools and bending die.
<Bending Table>
Bending Pin
Bending Plate
<Manual Bender> Prepare per rebar size
<Mat>
<Low cutting blade>
<Manual Cutter>
<Hammer>
<Upper cutting blade>
3) Tools needed if assembling does

a. Measuring tape ~ measures the dimension
b. Hook ~ a tool to tie the bar(usually used in Korea and Japan).
Wrench is used in Europe and South-East Asia
c. Conventional shearing machine ~ cuts a bundle of binding wires to bind the bars in
a beam, a pillar(divide to half) or a slab(divide to 3parts)
d. Plumb ~ using to assemble the pillar bar vertically
e. Bar-tying hook ~ ties #8 wire
<Measuring tape>
<Inch Ruler>
<Plumb>
<Bar-tying hook>
Tools mentioned above are rather old type ones, and newly developed tools are in
the construction site now.
9. Point of conventional processing work

1) Marking the bending point (example : D10~D13 stirrup , hoop)
Mark the bending point on the bending die. Be sure to nail the bending panel on the
bending die to fix it firmly.
Nail
Processed
dimension
Bar backstopper pin
Working point
Keep the 1.5d of tolerance from the working point
(in case of D10, keep the 15mm of tolerance)
2) Determining the location of the manual bender
Be careful
Make space +20mm width from the

bending start pin.
The space of working point must over 20mm

than using rebar.
The position of bender must have space of
20mm from working point to bender using to
head of handle. (install within eye shot)
3) Processing
Bend the bar a little more than intended angle.

Make sure that there is 20mm of distance between the tip of bender and bending
point.
The distance between these two points should be neither too far nor too close for high
bending accuracy.
With your left hand, gently push the bender outward to bend the bar, while you grab
the bar with your right hand to fix it firmly.
4) Posture and position of foot

It is recommended that bending
direction should be from right to left.
The left hand that pushes outward to
bend the bar should be at the level of
your belt.
Your right foot just turns the direction,
while your left foot moves quickly to
bending direction(Weight shift along
bending direction)
5) Currently using machinery
General Bender TYB-D35
Mobile Cutter TYC-D29A
10. Calculation of the quantity of Rebar material

1) Extra of rebar
In case of deformed bar, extra is 3% in general when including fixed & splice
length of rebar, however, it is proportional to bar size.
16mm or larger : more than 5% extra
3% of 100ton is 1000.03 = 3ton
Rebar calculation included extra 3-8% after calculating fixing & splice.
Therefore, those works will prevent from the reason of illegal construction
practices with correct quantity & regular position carryout of construction by
calculating bar-list with shop drawing.
If rebar will be processed in rebar processing factory , basically extra is as follows.
In construction work 3%, in engineering work 6%, support work 3~4%.
You have to consider the economical efficiency and construction carryout
efficiency in site after analyzing in advance about extra percentage per rebar size
by the criterion per construction carryout area.
2) Base plate(Footing)
<Example : 1>
<Example-1>
In 20002000 foundation, shown as above, requirement of bar includes 20pcs HD22

bars of 1,840mm (80(cover depth)2(both ends) = 160mm is extracted from
2,000(original length of foundation), 2pcs D19 assist bars of 2,601mm(1,840)1,414
2 ), diagonal direction) and 4pcs short diagonal bars(2 bars in each diagonal
direction) of 2,318mm(1,640(200mm is extracted from main bar length 1,840mm)
1,414 ( 2 ).
HD22 1,840mm20(foundation) = 36,800mm
Weight = 36.8m(36,800mm)3.04(unit weight) = 111.872kgf
HD19 2,600mm(long bar)2 = 5,200mm
Weight = 5.20m(5,200mm)2.25(unit weight) = 11.700kgf
HD19 2,310mm(short bar)4 = 9,240mm
Weight = 9.24mm(9,240mm)2.25(unit weight) = 20.79kgf
Actual requirement of bar is HD22 = 111.872kgf
HD19 = (11.700kgf+20.79kgf) = 32.49kgf
LOSS(left bar strip) : The original length of bar before cutoff is usually 8,000mm.
In case of above, 4pcs 1,840mm bars are produced and 640mm of bar strip is
left.
5 bars are needed for foundation, hence 6405 = 3,200mm of bar strip is left. Its
net weight is 3.20m(3,200mm)3.04(unit weight) = 9.72kg.
Actual requirement of bar is 8m3.04(unit weight)5 bars = 121.6kg
<Example : 2>
What is the weight of D10 8m bar?
0.56kg8m = 4.48kg
How many D13 bars(8m criterion) in 2ton?
2,000kg(0.995kgX8m) = 251EA(standard is 240EA)
Arrangement in foundation (base plate F)

HD16 rebar 200mm space
HD19 rebar 300mm space
HD13 reinforcement bar 3EA
HD16 = 2,000-(80(cover depth)2(both ends)) = 1,840 (cutoff dimension)

HD19 = 3,000-(80(cover depth)2(both ends)) = 2,840 (cutoff dimension)
HD13 = 1840 +2840 = 18401840+28402840 = 3,383 (cutoff dimension)
(Note. x = xx, 10 = 1010 = 100)

Here, multiply unit weight and number, then net weight of bar is
HD16 = 1.84m(1,840mm)1.56kg = 2.87kg
2,840 @200 = 14.2 14 14+1 = 15EA
2.87kg15 = 43.05kg
HD19 = 2.84m2.25kg = 6.39kg

1,840 @300 = 6.13 6 6+1 = 7EA
6.40kg7 = 43.73kg
HD13 = 3.38m(3,380mm)0.995kg = 3.36kg
Weight = 3.36kgassist bar(3+3) = 20.16kg
Among 6 assist bars, two(2) of them in 3,380mm and the other(4) in 12,320mm
(4x3,080mm : 300mm shorter)
Net weight is 43.05+44.73+21.60 = 109.38kg and add 5% extra, hence 114.84kg is
required.
3) Base(footing) and pillar

As various footing types like continues footing, single footing and mat footing, there
are many shapes of footing, that is, triangle, right triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon,
circle, multi-layer plate, etc.
In this book triangle shape footing and single reinforcement footing are dealt with.
In case of footing shown left cover

depth, the type of bar and the size of
HD22@200
bar should be considered.

In addition, the reinforcement at
footing-pillar junction should be
included here.
HD19-6EA
Before bar cutoff, the size of C1,
HD22@200
the area of main reinforcement, the

size of hoop and the spacing of
F1 plane
stirrup are all considered consulting

the bar list.
cover50
Calculation :
cover80
Footing shown left is in contact

with soil, hence cover depth is
80mm at each end(802 = 160 at
both ends).
Section
160mm is extracted from footing

length 2,000mm, and this(1,840mm)
is divided with spacing 200mm.
D10@300
D10@300
upper part, lower part @150
HD22-8EA
Then 10 reinforcement(at every 9

spacing +1 at the end) is required
here.
Now reinforcement is in two
directions and therefore we need 20
reinforcements.
4) Pillar
Similar to footing, there are many shapes of pillar, that is, triangle, right triangle,
square, rectangle, pentagon. circle, etc.
The worker is recommended to earn a lot of working experience.
Calculation of pillar
In calculation, tie hoop, stirrup, main bars
in column and the others should be
included here.
D10@300
D10@300
upper part, lower part
@150
First extract cover depth from hoop size

(400mm), and cover depth in the basement
and above the ground should be different.
HD22-8EA
Net length cover depth 400 - (40+40) =

320 (dimension)4(4sides) 1,280 +
100mm of hook then, cutoff length is
1,380mm.
Since net length of hook is 100mm, only
100mm of extra length is added here.
If the bar size is D10, one end is hooked
in circular, so 2 times of bar diameter
(20mm) is extracted here, As 5 hooks are
needed and hook length is 100mm at each
end(200mm in total), 80mm is extracted
from 100mm.
Then this 80mm is added to produce
200mm of hook length.
5) Calculation of main rebar

If you will carry-out with 8,000mm rebar including both fixed length(anchor) from
total length of 1 span , you just add the splice length from rebar diameter to use.
Example) Total length 62,000mm + both fixed length(anchor) 1,000mm = Gross Total
63,000mm. When using HD19 rebar, splice length is 1940d = 760mm. Rebar
8,000mm - splice length 760mm = 7,240mm. Gross Total 63,000mm 7,240mm =
8.7 piece (long bar 8piece & rest 5,080mm) Above splice length is 5,080mm
including anchor.
You can calculate it as above , but you have to carry-out the splice position as soon as
closely by calculating several methods if spice position is not fit well.

6) Calculation of top rebar

Please refer to the method in construction site as follows because it is very difficult to
explain in theory.
If 1 span is 8,000mm, 4,000mm will be center part and add 40times(40d) + rebar
thickness is the length of top rebar in center part & end.
You cut as 4,000mm +760mm = 4,760mm.
When assembling current processing status , center part is from beam to upper part
rebar splice position and end is lower part rebar splice position if splice rebar 2 pcs
4,580mm + long bar processed 1pc as upper part rebar and splice rebar 1pc
4,580mm + long bar processed 2pcs as lower part rebar will be used.
And so, you assemble it mutually crossed and upper part is 2 bar from 3 bar from
splice position.
7) Calculation of hoop
If pillar size is width 400mm length 500mm, actual processing size is 320mm,
420mm except cover 40mm each(both 80mm).
When processing hook by hand, it will be included 40mm from total length.
When using Taeyeon's bending machine, it will be included 50mm from total
length .

Cut size : (4202)+(3202)+50 = 1,530mm

Example of hoop usage : To avoid wrong bending of main bar and to restrict inner
concrete , you maintain the space and no problem to assemble with 135hoop at
one side.
8) Calculation of stirrup
If beam size is length 500mm , actual processing size is 420mm , 420mm except
cover 40mm each(both 80mm). If beam size is width 300mm , actual processing
size is 220mm , 220mm except cover 40mm each(both 80mm).
Including hoop 50mm , you can use Taeyeon's bending machine.

Cut size : (4202)+(220+50(hook)=1,100mm

Example of stirrup usage : To surround tension & compression bar and to restrict
inner concrete , you maintain the space and bend with over 135as stirrup end
length.
Taeyeon bending machine will be processed 90or 135with free by
manufacturing of special tool & electric circuit.
9) Fact of processing
According to rebar thickness and to bending angle , 2 times of rebar thickness will be
used because of bending by circle of bending part than the length per actual straight line.

When bending 1 angle, rebar D10 will be increased by 2cm each.
When bending 1 angle, rebar D22~25 will be increased by 5~6cm each.
Because bending part will be bent like R type, rebar will be less used per rebar
diameter.
Regarding processed rebar, it will be less used also by measuring with outside
diameter size.
If actual cut size is D10,

11. Foundation(Base) rebar arrangement

1) Foundation(base) work
In foundation work, the lean concrete underneath the footing concrete, is very
important.
Without it, constuction site, on which a building will be raised up, it would not be
clean and stable disturbing construction work.
Be sure to make lean concrete working mat having at least 50mm of thickness.
If F.L. of lean concrete is not fit, there are difficulty in fix S.L.
2) The height of spacer

Bar spacer is used to maintain the arranged bar balanced.
When arranging the bars or flooring, stones and bricks can not be used to support
them.
You have to prepare spacer in advance because there are high possibility of unbalance
when using stones or bricks to level the ground.
(in case of spacer height lean concrete top is 60mm)

The reason that the top of piles is embedded into foundation is that , in case of an
earthquake , the pile causes bending fracture.
Especially , when the ground is unstable , there should be specified directions on
the drawings.(in case pile cover bending moment & compresssion or cover tension

Usually in double footing and floating foundation , remained bar length is bent up and
down to splice them together as depicted below.
However, the remaining parts of the bar can be cut off to reinforce the foundation.

4) Foundation(base) pillar tie hoop

The main purpose of the tie hoop is to restrain the transverse load in order to relieve
vertical load into pillar.
Even though foundation concrete has capacity to support the loads from the pillars, tie
hoops help main bars be fixed at which they should be and it is important job.

12. Pillar rebar arrangement

1) Indication of pillar(C)
Main bar drawing - It indicates the length of span by the criterion of pillar and wall,
etc. and indicates the position of pillar & wall.
<Example>
C - pillar

D10 @250 - install per 250mm of DIA HOOP distance
Be careful of this point if there are rebar quantity's differences according to pillar
assembly x0, x1 or y0,y1 direction.
2) Indication of floor

< Stand the same to diagonal direction if each side is even. >
< Stand the same to all directions if each side is odd. >
< Stand the same to one direction if each side is even & odd. >
4) Tying method of pillar

Even the tiny little requirement for the construction should be taken into
consideration.
Keep the pillar reinforcements vertically and splice the bars 3 times.
Upper and lower parts of the reinforcements should be cross-tied.
When tying the corner of tie hoop, it is better to wind the tying wires changing
directions up and down to let it not to be hung down.
It is also recommended that worker wind the tying wires at least one time in
advance to hold the main bar to its original position.
main bar
tie bar
Tie bar for assisting pillar should be at every distance to install tie hoop .
Diamond type
General type
Bind the tie hoops clockwise(as shown below) and spacing at the top and bottom
levels of vertical reinforcement should be within
of hoop spacing beginning at
50mm from the bottom of the floor.
5) Position of pillar tying

In pillar bar slice, follow the instructions on drawings in order to splice them
adequately, that is, if not, the length of reinforcement is not fit for column with the
reason that usual 8,000mm bar is cut into two 4,000mm bars to splice.

available location of splice

[Note]
It is desirable that reinforcing bar should be in a variety of sizes, but 8m bar is usually
available in the market.
In other words, if you need a bar other than 8m in size, you should give a customerorder for it, which does not go well with economical strategy.
Reinforcing bars from D10~D16 do not have much problem in using them as
reinforcement for slabs or bearing walls. We have some advantages here.
Bar loss and the frequency of splice will be decreased if using bars of 8m ~ 12m
length by mixing.

6) Cross assembling of pillar and beam(only for outer pillar)

Don't fill up tie hoop to assemble beam the crossed part of pillar & beam.
In this case , there are difficulty in carrying out the construction but you must fill
up tie hoop of outside.
Especially, you should prevent from the protruded main bar by filling up tie hoop
on outer pillar and edge pillar.

In case over 600mm of pillar size , you should fill up support tie hoop by shop
drawing.
You should get rid of support tie hoop in order to worker's entrance to pillar tube
to connect #8 wire for working of pillar outer appearance.
After this, the worker should not forget to bind the assist wire before he gets out.
In case the splice length for pillar splice is shorter than required, be sure to destroy
the concrete to maintain splice length but it is impossible possibility to execute
actually.
Therefore, you should check the availability of welding splice, compressed splice,
mechanical splice.
7) Correction of pillar
Bend the bar gently at a very low level
Pillar correction angle should not exceed
of overall angle
Heat should not be added to correct the main bar because it makes the strength of
rebar, just destroy the part that needs correction and bend it
of overall angle.
Destroy the part that needs correction and modify it.

These are 2 cases of correction depending on correction angle.
When the correction grade is low
If corrected angle is about
,
insert the bar into pillar after bending.
Bending after concrete work.
When the correction grade is higher than
, change the bending angle to
and cover the pillar as thin as possible.

8) Detailed drawing of pillar and beam rahmen(arrangement)

Don't apply compression splice length except pure compression material.
Regarding bending material , apply B class splice for tying near max. stress point
and apply A class splice for the rest block.

13. Beam rebar arrangement

1) Principle of beam rebar arrangement
Calculate the size and depth of beams according to the drawing and arrange them
in a suggested order, that is, exterior beams and big beams(G) & deep beams first
and then binding small beams(B beams) later.
Supervisor has to check if the bar used at the top span meets the requirement on
the drawing.
Shorter bar than required might be used to save cost when the span is longer than
8,000mm, the bar standard.
The bar might deflect from undesirable vibration when placing concrete if the
double reinforcement or top end bar are tied with tying wires.
To prevent this, 3 pieces of stirrups are used to tie the bars at the top and as many
pieces to place double-leg bar & top bar on the bottom bar.
<The height will be changed by th rebar size>

Calculation of bender
When bent bars are used to reinforce beams, bending point of the bar is usually
calculated as
distance from the center of the pillar.
However, it is formal to divide it into 4 parts from the end of beam reinforcement
to the other end.
wall girder
pillar
An example for processing

Anchorage(fixed) bars are classified as the top bars and the bottom bars, when the
former have tensile loads and the later have compression loads.
Therefore, the top bars and bottom bars set fixed splice length with same method
because it has difficulty in working separately for processing and
assembling.(criterion of concrete structure plan)
In a real construction, 40d is used for both of them for convenience sake.
Cover depth of beams
Stirrup with spacer should be tied several times.
Pay attention when arranging reinforcements in order to have enough cover depth.

6) Beam rebar arrangement by using stepped pulley

The types of step are classified as planar step, elevated step, step in material
according to their shapes.
In each case, arrangement is in vertical or in horizontal.
If the worker has no choice but to bend the bar, bend it at low grade.
When the mid span of a beam has steps as shown below left, the bar might be
necessarily bent, which is quite undesirable.
The load tends to straightly pass through.
If pulled out, the bar does not straighten as it looks.
Far from straightening, it will break or fracture.
Needless to say, it is recommended that the worker cut the bars and arrange them
separately, as depicted below.

7) Hunch beam
Bend the bars at the bottom in a hunch former and anchor them onto the pillar.
Bend a half of the bars at the bottom to let the anchorage length penetrate the pillar

One size bigger stirrup should be used at the hunch point.

8) Pillar-holding rebar (Butterfly stitching rebar/Stirrup closing rebar)

As few drawing gives direction on pillar-holding rebar, it is common to use it at
every third stirrup.
If not, all junctions of pillar-holding rebar should be confined per every stirrup.

You should check pillar size & rebar Qty per each floor, and also arrange after

14. Caution if beam assembling does

1) Lean concrete working mat beneath the underground beam helps to ease the
arrangement of bars.
If gravel or brick is used to support underground beam, the reinforcement in the
beams might deflect to break the top of stirrup.
Furthermore, it might disturb the arrangement of reinforcement at the bottom of
beam and so cover condition of vertical & horizontal is not fit.
Stirrup as criterion must tie without breakage 2 times, 3 times when tying upper
part.
100mm from pillar rebar
breakable of stirrup tying
spacer
all bottom bars should be tied
2) When placing the concrete, it is usual to place concrete again after curing, and
repeat the same procedure.
During this procedure, protruded bars may become damaged or underground beam
and floor slab may not fit very well because of shrinkage.
Also, it will be not cleaned well because of dust if you will do concrete job with
arrangement of ground slab without neighbor ground cleaning completely.
3) In the author's view, it is recommended that, after completing lean concrete
working mat, the worker build up the fence around the reinforcement zone, in
which the bars are arranged, to cast in concrete at the same time.
It would be quite efficient since 2 cast-in procedures can be reduced to 1 procedure
and it also saves time and cost considering input of material & carpenter.
4) Regarding beam rebar arrangement by using stepped pulley , you must be

processed separately because the continuity of rebar arrangement is different for
lower part rebar , and pay attention to the difficulty in entering of G bar & G bar
when assembling B(small beam) lower part rebar.

16. Calculation of beam rebar

Bent bar that is placed above(up) and below(down) of beam is Main-Bend, and bent
bar that is placed on both sides of beam is Side-Bend.
Main-Bend
Hunch angle should not exceed 45(bent angle is "bent angle")

Side-Bend
Calculation of all 2 types of bent bar is the same except the way of extracting pure
height of main bar from stirrup height(thickness).
Either span of
from one end can be accepted depending on their uses.
1) Calculation of up-down bend(Main-Bend) in the beam

Provided that the height of beam is 500mm , the length of span is 8,000mm and the
size of pillar is 500mm , then the steel requirement is as follows.
100 cover
beam height
inner length
left
updown cover
ST height
right
updown cover
8,000mm-(500mm-40mm-40mm)-(500mm-40mm-40mm)=7,160mm
7,160mm4=1,790mm Hence, the value of is 1,790mm
1,790mm2=3,580mm(value of ) are extracted hunch length from inner length

Extract cover depth from 500mm(beam height : 420mm) and multiply this by 1.4,
and again extract 20mm(D10 diameter), [500mm - (40mm2)]1.4 - 20mm =
568mm, and then we have 568mm.
Calculation of hunch
Hunch = the height of stirrup1.4 - 20(bar diameter of top and bottom stirrup2)
fixed length is 40d in usual, hence provided that used bar is HD19,19mm40d=760mm
The length of anchor is 760mm- pillar fixation 400mm=360mm
400mm + 1,790mm = 2,190mm
400mm is the rest value except cover 100mm from width of pillar.
The length indication when spreading above calculation is as follows.
Total length 9,806mm for 8,000mm bar, the splice length is 2,566mm.
(example) 9,806mm-8,000mm=1,806mm, Total length is 1,806mm+760mm(splice

2) Principle of rebar arrangement

The worker measures the real length between beams and arranges the
reinforcement bars consulting the drawing, main bars in the short direction and
sub. bars in the long direction.
Bent bars at the top should be extended into the exterior beam reinforcement, and
be sure for the bars at the top and bottom to be hooked and tied considering tensile
and compressive force to slabs.
It is not allowed if you put on slab upper part rebar as it is or put into the beam
under 10D of rebar thickness of lower part rebar.
Slab bar arranges over 80mm space from side of beam bar. (There are no need to
fixing by bending if you can get fixed length from end of beam)
The arrangement in slabs should be in accordance with the drawing and be sure
not to bend if it is a web reinforcement.
It is quite advised to use spacer and bar support to keep the required shape and
strength, and tie the reinforcement every other grid.
The placement of concrete should be conducted after all the reinforcements and
ties are assured.
In case the thickness of slab is 120mm, the height of bent bar should be 60mm.
Use bar support in order to maintain the space between bars at the top and bottom
and then the distance will be correct.
Lower part bar will be worked by maintaining cover with spacer.
Tie the bars at the top and the bottom irrespectively.
Tying the bars is conducted in alternate and do not let the tying positions coincide
with each other, so that the bars at the top sustains upper loads and the bars at the
bottom handles undesirable loads.
3) Calculation of slab plate

It is wrong method in case you cut the length of cut bar(top point) in advance by
calculating
point from center to center of beam.
Therefore, you determine the end by calculating
as the criterion of short LX from
the rest plate by deducting both width parts.
calculate end
When bending in slab, using the hunch former will enhance the accuracy and
workability.
Hunch former can be made with bars on construction site.
If the bar is bent with hands, the length and the height of hunch will different
whenever it is made.
Please work with hunch former because bent bar decline to left/right side if you
bending too slantly to fit the height with hunch angle 45.

Phenomenon in case there are no formal arrangement of slab

In slab arrangement, bent bar should arrange (bend on return bend point) by above
procedure. But total length is not fit by coming inside as diagonal length to bend
after assembling upper part bar, lower part bar completely when using arrangement
method on construction site regularly.
In formal rebar arrangement, it consists of main bar, sub bar(upper part 2 layer,
lower part 2 layer). But it has difficulty in maintaining rebar up/down distance by
folding top sub bar over main bar and sub bar(upper part 3 layer, lower part 3 layer).

Arrange the bars in numerical order suggested above.

Use spacer and bar support to install within 1m each transverse & longitudinal
direction for upper & lower part rebar and also install to 1st rebar for each end.
6) Check after assembling slab

After construction of slabs, the supervisor should check following matters.
Are pillars of adjacent floor(usually upper floor) well positioned having intended
dimensions?
Is cover depth of slab well distributed and balanced?
Is there any abnormally inclined bent bar?
Are spacer and bar support rightly installed to be strong bar splice all right?
Is slab Bar splice all right?
Is reinforcement at the opening acceptable?
Enough splice length to the next floor?
Any dissatisfaction with items above will lead to poor construction and safety
problems.
In particular, if it is the matter of columns, it is very difficult to rebuild it and has poor
appearances.
And it is also an economical burden to the builder.

Especially, you should check section drawing well.
If you cut plane, you can see elevation(verticality), reversely if you cut elevation, you
can see plane.
In any drawing and plane, we mark section for the part to understand difficultly to
help you for processing and arrangement on right section of drawing.
It is best way to get the training of supervisor and you must study symbols on
drawings.

Detailed drawing of beam and slab's connected part

SLAB upper part rebar doesnt tie to beam main bar
Author's viewpoint : If you did not study shop drawing completely, you will solve
question if you will start construction by discussing to check wrong one after
visiting construction site after checking the drawing under construction over
80%.(especially, carpenter's process is over 80%).
9) Principle of ground slab

Bar arrangement in the floor slab begins 50mm from the slab wall side having
constant spacing.
Arranged bars should be strong enough not to deflect when a person steps on
them.
Unscreened gravel and bricks can not be used in order to keep spacing between
bars, and specified bar supports and spacers should be used to maintain the
dimensions and shapes of the slab as intended.
After arrangement, single bar might need to be cut off with oxy-acetylene cutting
in the requirements of collecting well or manhole.
In such cases, there could be cracks at the end tips of bars, and therefore more
reinforcement and splice should be adopted here.

The most important thing in floor slab - Base Tamping

After shovelling , the land must be tamped with vibration compactor.
Even though drawing does not refer to tamping, the worker must bear it in
mind as specification indicates.
However, it is real situation that there are little workers to keep it.
Both the client and the builder should hold it in common that even the neglect
of construction rules and standards will lead to fatal harms to both of them.
18. Wall rebar arrangement

1) Sequence of rebar arrangement
The worker is not allowed to change the rules and instructions of reinforcement
without permission. All the reinforcement should be in accordance with drawings
and specifications. Especially in retaining walls, if the retaining wall, which needs
double reinforcement, is placed in the sequence of the first main bar, assist bar, the
second main bar and then another assist bar, it might be an easy way but wrong
one. All the placement should be in the specified sequence.
Placement sequence of wall suggested below
main bar
width fixing bar
sub bar
width fixing bar

reinforcement bar
Place the stirrup closing bar densely and keep the thickness exactly. Especially in
the reinforcement of water tank, fabricate the reinforcement as specifically
suggested. And place the reinforcement at a time. In case the tank is big, the
reinforcement should be in zigzag and in the top span tying wire should be wound
at least one time before tying. If not, main bar would swing and would not
maintain the required shape. Simple cut bar reinforcement or hooking in the bar is
also a wrong reinforcement.
2) Principle of assembly and rebar arrangement binding

corner
it should be tied with 1,2 times

wound depending on @ distance
tying to maintain distance of upper part
Assist bars might deflect when concrete is cast-in or due to loose bindings.
To avoid this undesirable deflection, width-fixing bar, which is similar to stirrup in
shape is fabricated to place in assist bars.
Begin the placement of assist bars from 100mm above the floor place the stirrup
Stirrup(closing bar) at every third step
Caution in reinforcement of retaining wall

When numbers of bars are placed in the retaining wall, the worker should be
considerate.
If the tie between main bars and assist bars is loosened, the reinforcement would
lean toward.
Make sure that tying of main bars and fixing bars always go together in turn.

5) Tying position of revetment(retaining wall)

As a rule, bar splice in pillars and beams is not allowed, and if horizontal bar is better
to be anchored in the pillar of every span.

19. Other rebar arrangement

1) Stairway rebar arrangement
Place the bars in the suggested sequence according to drawing.
Double reinforcement should not be bent.
There are a few extended bars from pillars or beams to the stairs .
You should assemble by using standard hook(anchor) in case of assembling to cut
without bending bars for this working.

The most important part in cantilever is the bar at the top above distribution bars.
It is common to anchor the top bars into a beam, however, they can be anchored in
a slab so long as there is no difference between their levels.
To obtain adequate fixed length is most important.
Bars at the bottom should be anchored securely to provide for earthquake and
tornado.
When the level of cantilever and slab plate are different, bars in the slab should be
anchored onto the beam.
If the bars at the top are bent to be anchored onto the opposite slab, there might be
a crack due to tensile strength.
The bars at the top should be maintained with bar support.
3) Parapet rebar arrangement

The expansion of topping concrete at the top of a building due to variations of
daylights will pass out great compression load to the parapet.
Therefore, the double reinforcement
in the parapets are better to be
D13(reinforcement bar)
anchored onto beams or slabs.
Parapet might occur vertical crack mainly

because the length is long.
It is effective to avoid crack by arranging
to outside of horizontal rebar.

20. Steel frame(Deck plate S-ring)

In arranging the bars at the top, mount the deck plate and place the bars on the
furrows of deck plate firstly.
And then arrange the top bars above deck plate and connect these top bars with what
lied on the deck plate using hook to maintain the constant space between them.
What is Deck plate S-ring ?
In order to connect working of lower part & upper part rebar in deck plate, the
arranged method shows on drawing.
As you can see as below, there are rebar arrangement operation by using rebar
D10 Deck plate S-ring.
However, if some construction site would like to reinforce D10 rebar by hand,
there are possibility to reinforce rebar roughly because its working is very hard
and with low efficiency.
If so, it is weak point of construction carry-out and high possibility of problem
after construction.
"S"-shaped ready-made hook manufactured by Taeyeon Machinery Co. Ltd. is
convenient to install and has efficiency to keep distance and keep cover.
21. Caution and consideration of

construction carry-out
1) A man-day
The amount of reinforcement that a skilled worker can place a day is, in case of slabs,
0.26acre ~ 0.33acre in area, about 500kg~700kg if converted in weight.

2) Weight of concrete
Specific weight of plain concrete(without reinforcement) is 2,300kg/1m3
Specific weight of concrete with reinforcement in it is 2,400kg/1m3
Specific gravity of lightweight concrete with perlite or gas-foaming agent is only
0.6~1.2
3) Load and external force

In construction, load and external force are critically important factors to be
considered.
Load is classified as fixed load and occupied load, where the former is the weight of
building itself and the later is the weight of people, furniture, equipment, etc..
Occupied load is classified again as long-term load and short-term load.
The weight that 1m2 (square meter) sustains in long-term loading is
Human or furniture 200kg/1m2
Snow load 50kg/1m2
If weak at the long-term load : There might be a crack in walls or beams.

If weak at the short-term load : There might be not a crack but part breakage due
to external impact.
4) Crack and shrinkage

Crack of concrete is not simple problem to catch with several symptom such as
crack direction, etc but it is required to the inspection of professional.
Regularly, the crack under 0.3mm will be happened by dry shrinkage for
beginning vulcanization.
Shrinkage of the building
If the length of the building is longer than 50,000mm, there is expansion or
shrinkage of the building, 10mm ~ 20mm, within temperature range from -18C
~36C.
(temperature difference10-5the length of building = difference length by
temperature gap(expansion or shrinkage))
In case of Korea, temperature difference is 54C, from -18C in winter to 36C in
summer, According to the formula above, expansion in Korea is 27mm maximum
from 54C(
50,000mm) = 27mm, hence there should be expansion
splice in some parts on high building & walls to prevent crack of the building.
5) Caution if construction work does

Distance of main bars against girder(beam)
Beam plays an important part in a building, receiving the load from slabs and
passing it out to pillar.
Therefore the reinforcement in beams should be seriously taken into
consideration and accuracy.
Top bars, bottom bars, reinforcement bars, bent bars and middle bars are placed
in beams and distance of reinforcement should be more than 25mm or 1.25
times of the largest aggregate that is in the mixed concrete, over 1.5times
distance of rebar diameter.
Splice length of top bar in beams should be required fixed length if it extends to
the center of column and therefore sustains tensile force.
Splice of the bottom bars in beams should be within
from the end of beams,
where load is almost 0, and the top bars should avoid the end span of
beams.(min. rebar cost will be over 0.35%)
Pillar
Pillar also has important role to divide total weight and compression power of
building.
Distance of main bar also arrange bar fairly, distance per rebar and rebar will be
over 40mm or over 1.5times of rebar using.
The minimum size of column is more than 200mm and cross sectional area
should be more than 600cm2
Splice length applies B class splice length.
6) Reinforcement to prevent shrinkage of wall

The building might get shrinkage on building by the expansion of temperature in day
or the down of temperature in night.
Rebar concrete has expansion or shrinkage, and so there are possibility of unexpected
rebar.
Therefore, the point of crack possibility must reinforce outer wall without open part.
Arrangement direction of correct reinforced bar, it can be checked crack correctly, it is
principle to arrange bars vertically against crack direction.
If there are crack on both edges of wall by the expansion of roof, reinforced bar is
principle to arrange bars vertically against crack direction and you reinforce the
reinforced bar of highest wall to outer top pillar & retaining wall of building.
The expansion ratio of roof will be bigger toward outside and very small roof on
center of building.
Also, 1st floor contacts ground do not effected of the influence of temperature.
Therefore , the part of highest influence by expansion & shrinkage of roof is outside
wall and there are expecting many cracks.
Without marking on shop drawing, you must arrange construction with your sincerity
with our experiences.
7) Cleaning
It is better to install concrete after cleaning always before installing concrete.
When you checking construction site, there are many other materials to decline the
quality of concrete such as soil, sawdust, trash.
You must delete it inevitably.
After concrete job, you must break concrete of ground and brush concrete on rebar
with hammer drill, wire brush , hammer on next floor splice part, wall, pillar.
8) Problem if oxy-acetylene cutting does

Don't use the oxygen arc cutter near the pile of unused bars.
If you use the oxygen arc cutter near the piled bars, high heat from cutting rod will
be transferred to unused bars causing thermal deformation or unexpected failure.
Automated cutting machine and bending machine are recommended.
Oxygen arc cutter will drop tensile strength of the bar, which is critically important
to the reinforcement of the structure, and there might be problems in structural
safety.
Manual bar cutters have been normally used in the construction sites so far.
However, in order to increase the effectiveness and ensure perfectness, automated
cutting machines and bending machines are highly recommended.
<Reference>
Rebar arrangement should arranged by the shop drawing.
Technicians must increase the ability to see shop drawing if it is the recent drawing by
limit strength plan method.
22. Gas pressure welding of Rebar

1) Definition of gas pressure welding
It is welding method directly of raw material itself to press under the condition which is
before heat melting(1,200C~1,300C) for junction part with oxy-acetylene gas to fix on
both side rebars to connect in carrying out of rebar concrete structure building. Also, it is
economic splice method than folded tying (lap splice), mechanical spiral tying(mechanical
splice) and also the strength of junction part is stronger than raw material.
Rebar splice is classified to folded tying (lap splice) , mechanical spiral tying(mechanical
splice), compressed tying(welded splice). Folded tying (lap splice) is commonly have used as
important method for rebars of small diameter before. However, Folded tying (lap splice) has
irrationality such as complexity of rebar arrangement and bigger material section and also the
increase of mold cost and so it is prohibited to folded tying (lap splice) for over D29 deformed
rebar on Korean concrete standard specification and mechanical spiral tying(mechanical splice),
compressed tying(welded splice) will be applied frequently. Therefore, compressed
tying(welded splice) is stronger and economical splice method than Folded tying (lap splice) if
rebar arrangement with density or rebar diameter is bigger and it is using for the rebar over D29.

- Don't heat till the temperature of rebar melting but heating to 1,300C as rebar
exterior temperature (it is different from welding splice)
- Pressure to 300~400kg/cm2 per rebar 1cm

5) Inspection of gas pressure welding

Instruction of welded part includes visual inspection, ultrasonic detecting test and
tensile test, etc.
Selection of inspection test should be determined in accordance with suggestions on
the drawings.
Visual inspection
welding distortion, deflection, shape and dimension and any other defect can be
inspected with eyes.
Tensile test
- In case of manual welding equipment, tensile test is conducted for sampled
specimen
- In case of automated welding machine, test piece is manufactured for tensile test
Ultrasonic detecting test
In inspection of welded part, visual inspection and destructive or nondestructive
test are run parallel in general.
Among these, destructive test not only takes times and costs but also had some
errors because only a few test pieces are sampled from the entire welding spliced
bars.
As a solution, reliable nondestructive test is conducted to find out defects from all
welded parts
6) Caution if pressure welding works

The builder will get the admission of person in charge to select gas pressure
welding worker.
You must check and maintenance inevitably before working for oxygen , acetylene
instrument and protect it from direct rays.
The compression section should be decreased by cutting of plane after deleting oil,
paint, cement piece, etc but to be cut the neighbor surface by grinder.
The final pressure of rebar discharge direction should be over 300kgf/cm2 per
dimension.
The diameter of compression protrusion part should be over 1.4times of rebar
diameter and diameter of compression protrusion part should over 1.2times and
the form should be smooth.
But , it is followed by in case it is fixed by shop drawing separately.
23. Mechanical tying of Rebar

1) What is mechanical tying of rebar?
It is essential construction method for large scale civil engineering construction such
as high-building, bridge, dam, etc and underground building anti-earthquake plan and
also special construction. It is a splice method for strong economic quality assurance if
folded tying method is impossible in case rebar arrangement with density and rebar
diameter is bigger and so by the increase of rebar strength & concrete strength. It is
applicable for deformed rebar to use rebar concrete building. In foreign countries, it
was verified from 1960 and it is using for Korean construction site from mid-1990.
