Frequently Asked Questions
Rebar Detailing FAQs
What information is needed to begin rebar detailing?
Typical inputs can include structural design drawings, reinforcement notes, sections, specifications, structural models, architectural references and project standards.
What is included in a bar bending schedule?
The exact format depends on project requirements, but schedules may include bar marks, diameter, shape, dimensions, quantity, length and structural location.
Can reinforcement be modeled in 3D?
Reinforcement BIM can form part of the scope where 3D reinforcement information is required for visualization, coordination or documentation.
Can rebar detailing include foundations and slabs?
Yes. Depending on scope, detailing can cover foundations, pile caps, slabs, beams, columns, walls and other reinforced concrete elements.
Does MEP Global Engineering redesign reinforcement?
Rebar detailing is developed from supplied structural design information. Structural design or redesign would require a separately defined engineering responsibility.
Can revisions be incorporated into rebar drawings and BBS?
Yes. Revised structural information can be incorporated into reinforcement drawings and schedules as part of the agreed revision workflow.
