BS 8666 is intended for suppliers and purchasers of fabricated ribbed reinforcing steel (bars and fabrics) for the reinforcement of concrete. The standard includes requirements for the cutting and bending of reinforcing bars and coils. It also specifies the requirements for scheduling fabricated reinforcing steels, including a standard notation for different reinforcing steel types, standard bent shapes, and standard designations of welded fabric. Standard forms of bar and fabric schedules are given.

| 12 | 7 Dimensions 7.1 The dimensions given on the schedule shall be measured as shown in Table 3. For deformed reinforcement, the outside surface shall be the extremities of the ribs. The total length dimension specified on the schedule for each bar or for bars in each s 7.2 The bending dimensions of reinforcement shall be in accordance with Table 2. 7.3 The dimensions for the scheduling of reinforcement bounded by two concrete faces shall allow for the permissible deviations. 7.4 The dimensions for the scheduling of reinforcement requiring special end preparation shall take into account the system to be used. 7.5 To facilitate transportation, each bent bar shall be contained within a rectangular area, the shorter side of which should not be longer than 2 750 mm. 7.6 The value for minimum end projection P, as specified in Table 2, shall apply to all shape codes. 8 Scheduling 8.1 Each bar or sheet of fabric shall be scheduled completely and without reference to earlier schedules. Such descriptions as “see schedule 12” or “as above” shall not be used. 8.2 Shape codes shall be in accordance with Table 3. Standard fabrics shall be in accordance with Table 4. 8.3 For shape codes 11 to 98, if the free variable dimension (the dimension shown in parentheses in Table 3) does not conform to the requirements specified, then the shape shall be drawn and given the shape code 99. 8.4 No dimension specified in Table 3 shall be given a zero value, as this changes the basic shape. 8.5 Shapes with shape code 99 shall be drawn on the schedule over columns A to E using two parallel lines to indicate the reinfo…Table 3. The total length shall be given, and one bending dimension shall be indicated in parentheses as the free dimensio |

Dimensioning of an acute angle 8.8 Apart from shape code 98, bars bent in two planes shall be sketched isometrically or shown in two elevations, using first angle projection. The words “bent in two planes” or “isometric sketch” shall appear on the schedule adjacent to the sketch. 8.9 The overall offset dimension of a crank shall be not less than twice the size of the bar. The angled length (see Figure 5) shall be not less than: Dimensioning of cranked bars |
