CONTROLLING REINFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES The cost of Reinforcement in Reinforced concrete structures will contribute 15 % to 25% of cost of contract value of a project. Hence there is a need to control on all activities related to Reinforcement steel The activities to be controlled are planning, indenting, ordering, procurement, inventory management, storage, utilization, measurement, reconciliation etc.

CONTROLLING REINFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES PLACING ORDER: Indent for quarterly requirement 30 days in advance apart from total requirement in phase. Specify supply lengths Dia wise along with quantity. Specify the rolling margin and straight length bars and avoid U-bars procurement. Insist for traceable manufacturers test certificate with each lot.

Stage 3
Stage 1
BEND TEST AS PER IS 1786 - 2008 The test piece, when cold ,shall be doubled over the mandrel by continuous pressure until the sides are parallel.
The specimen shall be considered to have passed the test if there is no rupture or cracks on bent portion.
COMMON CHECKS Mandrel / bar bending machine ( for 16 & above ) Mandrel of proper dia meter is to be used for maintaining the radius of bend. If mandrel made tight the bar may show cracks at the bend due to less radius of bend. Mark on rebars / Grade Check the grade of steel and trade mark/name of the manufacturer.
COMMON CHECKS Check coupler welded or threaded is as per drawing , For bars in tension max 20 % of steel area staggered 600mm c/c minimum.
Check lap welding Min length 12d with gap or space ,welded with recommended electrode by ( checking carbon content of rebar matching electrode.)

Reconciliation of Steel
Steel being the high value item of the project it needs to be reconciled monthly by considering the following factors. Scrap measurement Billable quantity Stock of cut & bent steel in yard Transfer to other sites Consumption against ancillary works Stock available in Stock yard Invisible wastages Steel saved from cutting and bending allowances. Theft documents, if any.
