Preparation of Reinforcement Bar Bending Schedules for RCC work at construction sites is the most tedious and time-consuming task. The shape of each and every bar is to be derived exactly for cutting from working drawings. With increasing cost of steel, it has become necessary to minimize the wastage.
BarBeQue software takes care of all these aspects, for preparation of bar bending schedules and quantity estimation software. BarBeQue software is not Excel or any spreadsheet based, neither it runs under any CAD package. It is a complete standalone software, which generates to-the-scale graphical sketch of each bar. Program eliminates time-consuming work of calculating the cut length of bars. BBS sheets generated can be printed through this package directly. Outputs of this software can also be read in any AutoCAD compatible package.
Bar-Be-Que has a option for manual data entry. The dimensions of each bar are entered in a tabular form. Formulas for calculating the cut length after deducting bending allowances for various shapes of bars, are stored in the program, as per IS 2502 and BS 8666 codes. Program generate the Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) sheets with to-the-scale graphical sketch of each bar. Bar Shape Code can be as per latest IS 2502 or BS 8666 code. Program eliminates time-consuming work of calculating the length of bars after deductions. Diameters wise break up of rebar quantities is printed in the summary.
Various shapes of bars are available in the bar library as per BS code. Dimensions of the bars shall be entered in user-friendly dialog boxes.
Bar-Be-Que software comes with a module for generating optimized bar cutting arrangements for purchased lengths of bars, to minimize the wastage of Steel. Once the cut lengths of each bar are calculated, the program sorts these lengths in the decreasing order for each diameter. It applies optimization routines to place these cut lengths in purchased bar lengths (say 12 mt), such that the wastage is minimum.
