Foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Iron and Steel Standards Policy Committee ancJ is a revision of BS4466: 1981, which is withdrawn.

This British Standard applies to reinforcement complying with BS 4449, BS 4482. BS 4483 and BS 6744.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure uniformity of practice in the scheduling of steel for· the reinforcement of concrete. To establish a clear and unambiguous system for scheduling, it is necessary to specify the method of indicating dimensions and the order in which the informa· tion is given on the schedule.

A major difference between this edition of BS 4466 and previous editions is that shape codes 60, 81, 72, 73, 74 and 86, which are specified by their internal dimensions, have been deleted and replaced by shape codes 61, 82, 77, 78,79 and 87, which are specified by their extern<JI dimensions. Shape code 83 has been deleted.

Product testing and certification. Attention is drawn to the provision in this British Standard of a facility for third party certification of product conformity with this British Standard based on testing and continuous product surveillance coupled with assessment of a supplier's quality systems against BS 5750 : Part 2.

Enquiries as to the availability of third pnrty certification schemes and of competent test laboratories will be forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third party certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body from the list of Associntion members.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

1 Scope

Tllis British Standard specifies requirements for the scheduling, dimensioning, bending and cutting of steel reinforcement complying with BS 4449, BS 4482, BS 4483 and BS 67 44.

NOTE. The titles of rwblications referred to in this stand~rd are listed on the inside back cover.

2 Definitions

For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply.

2.1 bar. A stee I product of any cross section complying '1 BS 4449 orBS 6744.

2.2 wire. A steel product of any cross section complying with BS 4482.

2.3 size. The nominal size of a bar or wire in millimetres. NOTE. This is given the symbol 'd'.

2.4 nominal size. The diameter of a circle with an area equal to the effective cross-sectional area of the bar or wire.

2.5 mark number. An identifying number (which also appears on the delivery label) crO"s~-raferencing individual line entries on the schedule to the detailed drawing.

2.6 shape code. A two-digit coded definition of the reinforcement shape as given in tables 1 <:~nd 2.

2.7 pitch. The centre-to·centre spacing of bars or wires in a sheet of fabric or the longitudinal spacing of turns in a helix.

2.8 mesh. The rectangle defined by the pitch of the Jitudinal wires and the pitch of the cross wires in a

S11eet Of fabric.

2.9 fabric. A factory-made product of welded IJors or wires complying with BS 4483.

NOTE. There are three categories of f:~!Jric ns defined in 2.10 to 2.12.

2.10 designated fabric. Fni.Jric reinforcement where the wire and mesh arrangement cJn be defined by <Jn identi­fiable fabric reference.

NOTE. The British Standard range of preferred fal>rics (see qble.1 of ElS 4483 : 1985) exemplifies designated fabrics.

2.11 scheduled fabric. Fabric reinforcement with il regular wire and mesh arrangement thilt can be defined by specify· ing the size and spacing in each direction using the notntion shown in figure 1, which assumes that sheets arc always viewed with their cross wires uppermost.

2.12 detailed fabric. Fabric rein! orccrnent not covered by the definitions in 2.10 und 2.11.

NOTE. A dimensioned drawing i~ requirr~d to define the mesh ilrrangement.

2.13 fabric reference. An alphil numt!ric coclc defining the wire sizes and mesh dimensions of <J sht~ot of clesign:Jtcd 1al!ric.

3 Notations

The type and grade of reinforcement shall be alJI.Jrevi<Jtcd using the following letters.

R grade 250 reinforcement complyinn with BS 4449

T grade 460 type 2 reinforcement complying with BS 4449 or BS 4482

S stainless reinforcement complying with the grade and type selected from BS 67 44

W grade 460 plain reinforcement complying with BS 4482

D grade 460 type 1 reinforcement complying with BS 4482

X reinforcement of a type not included in the above list having material properties that are defined in the design or contract specification.

4 Form of schedule

4.1 For bar reinforcement, the form of schedule shown in figure 2 shall used. NOTE. The schedule should be referr~d to as a 'bar schedule' since it is customary for the reinforcement fabricator to prepare separate cutting and bending lists for fabrication. The bar schedule is usually completed in sequence of structural units, whereas the cutting and bending lists are usually sorted into type ilnd size of bar.

For cutting and bending purposes, schedules shall be provided on separate sheets of paper of size A4 of BS 4000 and not as part of the detailed reinforcement drawings.

Fabric reinforcement shall be specified on the fobric schedule form shown in figure 3.

When used for detailed fabric, the schedule shall include a cross-reference to the relev<Jnt dimensional drawing.

4.2 For schedules that are not produced on a computer, the minimum width of the columns in the bar and fabric schedules shall be as shown in figures 2 and 3." For computer produced schedules. the column widths and the size of the schedule mny vary from those shown in figures 2 and 3, but the sequence of columns shCJII be mnintained. The schedule shall not l!e significantly larger than size A4 of BS 4000.

4.3 The schedule reference shnll appear ill the top right· hand corner of the schedule form and shall comprise consecutive numbers, which include a cross-reference to the drawing. Such terms as 'sheet number' or 'page number' shall not be used. The styles '1 (of G)' and 'G (and last)' may be used on manually prepared schedules but the words in parentheses shall not form p<:lrt of the schedule reference.

The first three characters of the schedule rc!ercnce shall be the last three characters of tile druwing nurnlwr, storting at, for example, drawing number 001. The schcclule number shall occupy the fourth and fifth spaces, starting at 01 and not exceeding 99 for nny one dr;1wir1H. The sixth space shall be used for schedule revision letters.

Bar schedule 0 4 G D 0 reference

NOTE. Where a schedule revision is necessary, the line or lines affected may be indicated by a suitable reference on the schedule, e.g. 'A' at the right-hand side of the schedule in figure 2.

If a job contains more than 999 drawings it can be broken down into groups by the use of a job number, e.g. job number 1234A foundations and job number 12348 ground floor.

·····-···.· f1 1\ \J LJ

4.4 The bar or fabric schedule shall include the statement 'This schedule complies with BS 44GG'.

4.5 The bar or fabric mark shall comprise simple and consecutive numbers or letters with a maximum of six characters. Where special end preparation is required (e.g. for couplers), the bar mark shall commence with 'E'.

4.6 In the 'Type and size' column. the notations specified in clause 3 for the type and grade of bar shall be given and this shall be followed by the nominal size of the bar in millimetres.

A dimensional sketch shall be drawn out over schedule columns A to E. Every dimension shall be specified and the dimension that is to allow for the permissible deviations ~hall be indicated in parentheses, otherwise the fabricator is free to choose which dimension shall allow for the tolerance.

If a shape that is given in this table or in table 1 is required but a different dimension is to allow for the permissible deviations, the shape shall be drawn out and given the shape code 99 and the free dimension shall be indicated in parentheses. The tolerances given in table 4 also ~pply.

NOTE 1. r indicates the minimum value in table 3. NOTE 2. The dimensions in parentheses are the free dimensions. NOTE 3. To avoid separate equations for each steel grade and bending radius simplified total length formulae arc used for shape codes Gl a11d ~'2. These formulae arc necessarily approximate.

When the bending angles approach 90 o, it is preferable to specify shape code 99 with a fully dimensional sketch.

5 Form of bar or fabric label

The schedule reference and the mark given in the 'Bnr (or fabric) mark' column of the schedule shall be put on the labels attached to the reinforcement.

Apart from any information required by the supplier for his own identification and internal system, no other information shall appear on the label.

6.4 The dinwnsions given on the schedule shaiiiJe measured as shown in tables I and 2 where, for deformed reinforce­ment, the outside surface shall IJe the extremities of the deformation.

6.5 To facilitate packing for transportation, each bent bar shall be contained in an imaginary rectangle, the shorter side of which shall be not longer than 2750 mm. NOTE. Normally the total length should not exceed 12m, although longer lengths may be obtained by special arrangement with the supplier. The upper limit is determined by handling and trans· portation and should not exceed 18m for bars.

6.6 The values for minimum radii, bend and hook allowances (r, nand h respectively as given in table 3)

7.2 The weferred shape codes to be used shall be as given in table I. Table 2 gives other shape codes that may be required.

Shopes that do not have a specific shape code number given in table 1 or 2 shall be coded as '99', in accordance with table 2.

7.3 For shapes without an end anchorage, the dimension shown in parentheses in tables 1 and 2 shall be the variable dimension to allow for the permissible deviations. NOTE. The dimension in parentheses in tables 1 and 2 may be omitted from the schedule.

If a different dimension is required to be the free variable, the shape shall be drawn and given the shape code 99.

7.4 No dimension given in table 1 or 2 shall be given a zero value, as this changes the basic shape.

7.5 Shapes with shape code 99 shalllJc eli awn on tlw schedule over columns A to E using two parallel lines to indicate the reinforcement thickness, and the origin of projected surface intersection lines shall be used for dimensions. The methods of measurement shall be in accordance with those shown in tables 1 and 2 and 7.6 to 7.11 shall be complied with. The total length shall be given and, unless there is an end anchorage bend or hook, one bending dimension, preferably an end dimension, shall be indicated in parentheses as the free dimension to allow for the permissible deviations. The r, nand II values shall be given on the schedule if they differ from the values given in table 3. The tolerances given in table 4 shall also apply to shape code 99.

7.6 If the angle between two portions of the shape meeting at a bend is not a right angle, it shall be given and shall be defined by co-ordinates and not by degrees of arc.

7.7 Any shape including an acute angle shall be classified

as a 99 shape code and drawn out in full with construction lines. NOTE. The shape codes given in tables 1 and 2 do not include an acute angle.

When dimensioning an acute angle the tangential lines shown in figure 5 shall be used. -

7.8 Bars bent in two planes shall be sketchcd.isometrically or shown in two elevations, using first angle projection in accordance with BS 308: Part 1. The words 'bent in two planes' or 'isometric view' shi.lll appenr on the schedule.

7.9 The overall off-set dimension of a crank shall be not less than twice the size of the bar or wire. The angled length as shown in figure G shall be not less than 1 Od for grade 250 nor less than 12d for grade 4GO in sizes of less than 20 mm nor le.ss than 14d for grade 460 in sizes of 25 mm and over.

....,....., • •vv • 'VUV

7.10 For all shnpcs with two or more l>cncls in the same or opposite directions (whether in the same plane or not). the overall dimension given on the schedule shnll alwavs include a minimum straight of 4d between the curved portion of the bends, as shown in fi9ure 7. The value of x in figure 7 shall be not less than the following:

(a) 10d for grade 250 material;

(b) 12d for grade 460 material not exceeding sizes of 20 mm;

(c) 14d for grade 460 material in sizes of 25 mm and over.

NOTE. The minimum values of x are expressed in terms of the nominal size of the reinforcement. In practice, rolling and bending tolerances, and the fact that the circumscribing diameter of deformed reinforcement may be up to 10% greater than the nominal size, need to be considered. For example, the actual overall dimension of a hook bent in accordance with table 1 is greater than 2r +2-d and similarly two bends including a 4d straight hove an actual overoll x value greater than 2r+ Gd.

7.11 The minimum length of material to be given on the schedule to form a bend or hook shall be as given for n or h respectively in table 3. NOTE. The reason for this i.s that existing bending equipment requires such a minimum length for the rotating pin to engage with the bar and bend it round the standard former. In giving this length on the schedule, due consideration should be given to the possibility of negative cutting tolerances (up to 25 mm) reducing the actual· length of material. The smaller the bar size the more critical is the effect of the negative cutting tolerance, and this fact was considered when deciding on the length given in table 3 and the formulae given in tables 1 and 2.

8 Bends and hooks

NOTE 1. Minimum former radii are given in table 3.

NOTE 2. The overall dimension of a bend may vary from the design dimension by up to the sum of the cutting deviations ( ± 25 mm) and the cumulative bending deviations.

Before taking into account the cumulative cutting tolerances, the nominal value for yin table 3 shall be calculated as follows:

(a) for a bend, n- 0.57r + 0.21 d;

(b) for a hook, h- 2.14r- 0.57d.

9 Tolerances on cutting and bending dimensions

The tolerances given in table 4 shall <~pply for cutting and/or bending dimensions and shall be taken into account when completing the schedule. The end anchorage or the dimension in parentheses in the slwpe codes given in tables 1 and 2 shall be used to allow for any permissible deviations resulting from cutting and bending.
