About this app

The Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) calculator app is a specialized tool catering to civil engineers involved in reinforcement cement concrete projects. Its primary function is to facilitate the preparation of steel reinforcement bar bending details with utmost simplicity and efficiency.

The app streamlines the process through a straightforward workflow, encompassing three intuitive steps. Firstly, engineers can easily sketch the shape of the steel reinforcement bar by directly interacting with the app's canvas interface. This allows for precise visualization and layout customization.

Secondly, users input specific reinforcement details, such as the diameter of the concrete rebar and the desired number of bars. This information serves as essential parameters for accurate calculations within the app.

Lastly, with a single press of the BBS button, the app instantaneously generates a comprehensive bar bending schedule. This schedule encompasses vital information regarding the placement, dimensions, and configuration of the steel reinforcement bars. It provides clear instructions to guide rebar benders on-site, facilitating efficient and precise implementation.

Moreover, the app includes a robust metal weight calculator that accurately determines the per meter weight of the steel reinforcement. By inputting the diameter of the rebar, engineers obtain precise weight measurements, aiding in material planning and estimation.

The canvas feature of the app serves as an invaluable tool for rebar detailing. It enables engineers to effortlessly visualize the reinforcement structure, ensuring accuracy and effective communication among project stakeholders.

It is important to emphasize that the app's purpose is specifically tailored to steel reinforcement and rebar detailing. While it excels in these areas, it is not intended for comprehensive structural steel calculations. The BBS calculator app significantly simplifies the complex task of preparing bar bending schedules, offering an intuitive and indispensable tool for civil engineers engaged in reinforcement cement concrete projects.
