Bar bending schedule (or schedule of bars) is a list of reinforcement bars, vis--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.

Figure 1 depicts the shape and proportions of hooks and bends in the reinforcement bars these are
standard proportions that are adhered to:

(a) Length of one hook = (4d ) + [(4d+ d )] where, (4d+ d ) refers to the curved portion = 9d.

(b) The additional length (la) that is introduced in the simple, straight end-to-end length of a reinforcement
bar due to being bent up at say 30o to 60o, but it is generally 45o) = l1 l2 = la

Where,
