rebar sizes: Imperial bar designations represent the bar diameter in fractions of 1/8 inch, such that #8 = 8/8 inch = 1 inch diameter.
Area = (bar size/9) 2 such that area of #8 = (8/9)2 = 0.79 inch.
This applies to #8 bars and smaller. Larger bars have a slightly larger diameter than the one computed using the 1/8 inch convention.

Steel rebar formula

There are four main rules for steel reinforced concrete beams:
1. To count the height of the reinforced concrete beam divide the gap length by 20.
For example: the gap is 4 meters. The minimum height of the concrete beam should be 4 / 20 = 0, 2 meter
2. To count the width of the concrete beam: Multiply the height by 5 and divide by 7.
For example: the beam height is 0, 2 meter. 0, 2 x 5 / 7 = 0, 14 m.
3. The beam should be enforced with at least 4 steel round bars d12-14 in two levels.
4. The concrete should be applied all volume at once without big waiting gaps.
