Preparation of bar bending schedules of reinforcement steel bars (Rebars) 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 as well.
BarBeQue software takes care of all these aspects, for preparation of bar bending schedules and quantity estimation. BarBeQue software is not Excel or any spreadsheet based, neither it runs under any CAD package. It is an independent 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 an option for manual data entry. The dimensions of each bar are entered in a tabular form. Formulas for calculating the cut length of bars after deducting bending allowances are stored in the program. Deduction in bar lengths can be done in diffrent ways, either as per BS 8666 or IS 2502 codes or as per standard site practises. Program generate the Bar bending schedule (BBS sheets) with to-the-scale graphical sketch of each bar. Diameters wise and member wise breakup of rebar steel quantities is printed in the summary.
Various shapes of bars in addition to BS8666 and IS2502 shapes are available in the program.
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. BarBeQue software is simple to operate.
