4.2.2 Hooks and bends  

4.2.2.1  Unless otherwise stated in a bending schedule, the proportions and dimensions of thehooks and bends shown in column 4 of table 1 shall conform to the appropriate values given infigures 2 or 3, as relevant, subject to variations as may follow from tolerances in other portions ofthe bar.

4.2.2.2  For all shapes with two or more bends in the same or opposite directions (whether in thesame plane or not), the overall dimension given in the schedule shall always include a minimumstraight length between the curved portion of the bends, as shown in figure 4. The value of thisstraight portion shall be not less than the following (see SANS 920):

a) 4d for material with characteristic strength of 250 MPa;

b) 4d for material with characteristic strength of 450 MPa and not exceeding 20 mm diameter; and

c) 6d for material with characteristic strength of 450 MPa.

4.2.2.3  The overall off-set dimension of a crank shall be not less than twice the diameter of a circlethat circumscribes the bar or the wire. The angled length, as shown in figure 1, shall be not lessthan the following:

a) 10d for material with a characteristic strength of 250 MPa;

b) 12d for material with a characteristic strength of 450 MPa and not exceeding 20 mm diameter;and

c) 14d for material with a characteristic strength of 450 MPa and exceeding 20 mm diameter.

4.2.2.4  The length of material to be used in the determination of the calculated length to form abend or hook shall be as given for n or h in figures 2 and 3.

4.2.3 Radii of bends  

4.2.3.1  The internal radius of a bend, hook or corner of a bar (where the radius is not specified as r  as in table 4 or can be determined from dimensions) should be twice the nominal size of the bar, inthe case of hot-rolled mild steel bars, and three times the size of the bar, in the case of high yieldstress steel bars and cold-worked steel bars (see figures 2 and 3). Where so desired, the radius forcorners may be increased. This change shall be indicated as shape code 99.

4.2.4 Angles 

4.2.4.1  Unless otherwise stated in a bending schedule, the angle formed at a bend shall be a rightangle.

4.2.4.2  In the case of an angle of a corner that is not a right angle,

a) if the overall height is critical, the angle shall be defined by a slope length and an offset, asshown in figure 1(b), and

b) if the slope is critical, the angle shall be defined by the length of the slope and the rise, as shownin figure 1(a).

4.2.5 Curved bars 

 A bar that has to be formed to a radius less than or equal to the appropriate value given in table 5,shall be bent to the required curvature before being placed in its final position. Reinforcement to beformed to a radius exceeding that given in table 5, shall be supplied straight and the required

curvature can be obtained during placing.

NOTE 1 For shapes with straight and curved lengths (for example, shape codes 39, 51, 81 and 85 in table 1),the largest practical radius for the production of the continuous curve is 200 mm (this value should be checkedwith the bending yard concerned) and for larger radii the curve may be produced by a series of short straightsections.

NOTE 2 A section of up to 300 mm at each end of a bar cannot be radiused. If necessary, the cutting lengthshould make allowance for these lengths to be removed from the radiused portion.

5 Bar and fabric schedules 

5.1 General 

NOTE The purpose of the provisions given in this clause is to obtain uniformity in the compilation of bar andfabric schedules. The implementation of these provisions should lead not only to easier interpretation ofworking drawings but also to simplification of the preparation of a bending and cutting list.

5.1.1  The bar and fabric schedules shall be separate and shall be drawn up as shown in tables 3and 4, respectively. Individual schedules shall be done on A4 sheets, but larger sheets of the Aseries may be used in such a way that the schedules can be cut or folded to a nominal A4 size. Forsimple structural components such as beams, columns and rectangular column bases (but not only

them), the assembly drawing of the component may be included on the same sheet as theschedule. Such drawings may be produced on A3 sheets on which the width of the schedule shouldbe confined to the nominal width of an A4 sheet.

5.1.2  All hooks, bends and corner radii of bars shown in figures 2 and 3 shall be deemed to bestandard values and are not reflected in dimensions in the schedule. For non-standard bars,dimensions of standard hooks, bends and corner radii may be omitted and where so omitted theyshall be deemed to be standard values.

NOTE For computer produced schedules, the column widths and the size of the schedule may vary fromthose shown in figure 2 and 3, but the sequence of columns should be maintained. The schedule should not besignificantly larger than size A4.

5.1.3  The bar or fabric schedules shall include the statement "This schedule complies with

SANS 282".

5.2 Title block 

The title block shall appear either at the top or at the bottom of the schedule. The followinginformation shall be displayed in the title block:

a) the name of the project;

b) the number of the project;

c) the component type and the location (which shall appear in the title block or elsewhere in theschedule);

d) a cross reference to a layout drawing number;

e) the schedule number with an optional revision number. This should appear close to the right-hand edge of the schedule. If the revision number does not form part of the schedule number,then the revision number shall be shown separately but adjacent to the schedule number;

f) the name of the organization responsible for the design of the project;

g) the date the schedule was prepared;

h) the signatures or printed initials of the engineer and the checker; and

i) such other information as the design organization deems necessary for the adequate control andadministration of the project.

NOTE Where a revision of the schedule is necessary, the line or lines affected may be indicated by a suitablereference on the schedule.

5.3 Bar and fabric marks  

The bar mark given in column 3 of table 3 and the fabric mark given in column 1 of table 4 shallconsist of the identifying numbers or letters (or both), that shall also be displayed on a label (seeclause 6), which shall be attached to the bars or to the fabric. Bar and fabric marks should consist ofa range of consecutive numbers/letters, and no mark should consist of more than three characters.

The numbers should be taken from the range 01 to 99 and the letters should be taken from therange A to YY. Where such ranges are inadequate, use either

a) a combination of letters taken from the range A to YY, followed by a single-digit number, or

b) a combination of numbers taken from the range 01 to 99, preceded or followed by a letter.

Combinations starting with "E" shall be reserved for bar marks where special end preparation isrequired (for example, couplers).

5.4 Type and size 

In the "type and diameter" column, the types of steel and the nominal sizes of bars (given inSANS 920), shall be indicated in abbreviated (symbol) form, as follows:

a) symbols  

R denotes plain round mild steel bars, of strength 250 MPa;

Y denotes high yield deformed steel bars, of strength 450 MPa; and

Z denotes types of steel not covered by R or Y;

b) sizes: The size of the bar is given after the symbol and indicates the nominal diameter of the barin millimetres.

NOTE Where possible, mesh may not be listed on the same schedule as bar reinforcement.

5.5 Bending schedule 

5.5.1  The bending dimensions given in table 3 and table 4 should be multiples of 5 mm, and dueregard should be given to the applicable requirements and bending tolerances in table 2.

5.5.2  Shapes of shape code 99 shall be shown in sufficient detail (see annex A) to facilitate cuttingand bending, or they shall be supported by a dimensioned sketch. The method for the measurementof dimensions in table 4 shall be used. The total length shall be given, and unless there is an endanchorage bend or hook, one bending dimension, preferably an end dimension, shall be indicatedas the free dimension, to allow for permissible deviations. The r , n and h values, if different from thevalues given in figure 2 and figure 3, shall be given in the schedule. The tolerances in table 2 alsoapply to shape code 99.

5.6 Bending of fabric reinforcement 

5.6.1 The sketch in column 13 of table 4 shall indicate the following:

a) the direction of bending relative to the transverse wires (see figure 5(a));

a) Position of transverse wires

b) the direction of the longitudinal wires of the sheet, to ensure bending about the correct axis (seefigure 5(b));

b) Indication of longitudinal wires

c) the correct orientation of an asymmetric sheet, to ensure the correct setting out of bendingdimensions (see figure 5(c)).

c) Orientation of an asymmetric sheet

Figure 5 — Positions of fabric reinforcement  

5.6.2 For all bent fabric reinforcement, the bending dimensions shall not be indicated at positionsnear welded transverse wires that occur within four diameters of the start of a bend (see figure 6).

Figure 6 — Position of welded transverse wires 

5.7 Cutting length 

The length of a bar shall be the cutting length as defined in 3.5.

6 Bar or fabric label 

The bar or fabric label shall contain sufficient information to identify the bar or fabric in terms of therelevant schedule.

7 Manufacturing and routine inspection  

7.1  Purpose-made shearing equipment shall be used for cutting bars to length. The tolerancesgiven in table 2 shall apply to each length.

7.2  Bending shall be carried out on power bending machines. Plain smooth surfaces or rolls thatdo not offer resistance to longitudinal movement of the bars or fabric being bent shall be provided toensure adequate support. The diameter of formers that are used in bending bends and hooks inaccordance with figure 2 and figure 3 shall be such that bends and hooks will be provided of the

radii given in figure 2 and figure 3, subject to the appropriate tolerances.

7.3  The manufacturer shall ensure that cutting and bending machine operators are trained in theskills necessary to produce cut and bent products of dimensions within the permissible sizedeviations and of consistent quality. A formal operative approval and testing system shall beimplemented and operators shall have been certified by the manufacturer as having achieved theminimum standards of competence.

8 Quality evaluation 

Quality evaluation shall be carried out in accordance with SANS 920 in the case of steel bars and inaccordance with SANS 1024 in the case of steel fabric.
