How to calculate the reinforcing bar leg length

How the reinforcing bar leg length is calculated depends on the angle between the bar legs.

  • When the angle is <= 90°, the length is measured to the extension of a leg along the outer edge

  • When the angle is > 90 ° and <= 180 °, the tangential length is used

The leg lengths are calculated using Rebar Shape Manager, where

  • S1 = straight portion of a bar for the first segment
  • S2 = straight portion of a bar for the second segment
  • A1 = bending angle measured between the extension of the first leg and the second leg. The angle is 0° if the second segment continues to the same direction as the first segment (the bar is straight)
  • L1 = leg length for the first reinforcing bar segment
  • L2 = leg length for the second reinforcing bar segment
  • RS = bending radius
  • DIA = actual diameter of the reinforcing bar
