Rebar Shop Drawings sample

[Rosy Thomas]

Can anyone help me with the rebar drawings? and also tell me is that necessary to have it on field? which type of rebar shop drawings i need for commercial building structure?

The style of rebar shop drawings will be heavily dependent on your location (and application -- commercial buildings).

If the location in your profile (India) is correct, I'd also add the caveat of the type of contractor -- small, large local, or large multi-national.

Here in the States it's absolutely a requirement that you have the rebar shops in the field. The shop drawings tell you which bars go where. Otherwise you have a pile of bars and no idea which ones are intended to go where.

I suppose if it's a very, very simple project with no bent bars you might get away with no shops, but even that will be problematic for the field guys.

Thanks JLNJ and Lomarandil but can you tell me more about choosing of style of rebar Shop Drawings generally.

That may be the case for buildings, but our contract plans for bridges include the locations for all the rebar.

ACI has a detailing manual that illustrates detailing. In our area the rebar supplier details the rebar based on the EOR details. Heavy Civil rebar is detailed by the engineer in some cases, but those are usually very large rebar assemblies where lifting becomes a problem to consider.
