Rebar for custom concrete shape

Hi,

Are you interested in learning more about 28mm rebar? Contact us today to secure an expert consultation!

I'm looking at using RS to provide a basic rebar plan for a small concrete weir along with material quantities. I'm not sure if I'm doing this most effectively and would appreciate any guidance. The attached show a simple test file (the actual structure is a bit more complex). To make the concrete, I just model an extruded mass in place as a structural foundation. Then to add rebar, I sketch the hoops in place, and add straight dowels perpendicular. Is this the best way? Could someone point me to a good tutorial for this sort of thing?

Some specific questions:

- how can I modify the hooks on the rebar to be different from 90 or 180 degrees?

- how can I draw overlapping rebar on the hoops?

- how can I get the array of perpendicular rebar to snap to the rebar cover boundary of the concrete, and then the rebar hoop to snap to the perpendicular bars?

- I can get a schedule of the quantities (volume of steel), but don't know how to apply density and cost factors so that these appear in the schedule.

- Instead of adding the arrays of horizontal rebar, is there someway to attach area mesh to this sort of shape?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated

The specifications for these three grades of steel are covered by BS:.

Steel grades and processing methods &#; is there a link?

Whilst it might be tempting to assume that certain grades of steel must be cold drawn rather than hot rolled, because of their superior ductility and tensile strength, this is not the case. Steel grades are determined by the composition of the steel and its relative performance, and not by the processed used to make it. Steels of all grades can be hot rolled, cold rolled or cold drawn.

Hopefully, this article has provided an insight into the processes involved in the production of steel used in reinforcement products, and the grades that define each different type of reinforcing steel. With that knowledge, construction professionals should be able to make better purchasing decisions for every project.
