Abstract
The Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) is an essential part of construction in civil engineering, where it defines the quantity, type, and dimensions of steel reinforcement bars required for a structure. This paper presents a Python-based approach to calculating the bar bending schedule for simple beams, detailing the steps involved, including cutting lengths for top and bottom bars, the number of stirrups, and the weight of stirrups. By automating these calculations, the proposed method reduces the risk of manual errors, enhances accuracy, and provides an efficient way to optimize reinforcement designs. The approach is demonstrated with an example of a reinforced concrete beam and is expected to be a valuable tool for structural engineers and designers.
