BS 8666:2005 PDF Download

BS 8666:2005 is a standard that provides specifications for the scheduling, dimensioning, bending, and cutting of steel reinforcement for concrete. Its main purpose is to establish guidelines for suppliers and purchasers of fabricated ribbed reinforcing steel, including bars and fabrics used in concrete reinforcement.

The standard includes requirements for cutting and bending reinforcing bars and coils, ensuring that these processes are carried out correctly and in accordance with industry standards. It also provides specifications for the scheduling of fabricated reinforcing steels, outlining a standard notation for different types of reinforcing steel, as well as standard bent shapes and designations for welded fabric.

By providing standard forms of bar and fabric schedules, BS 8666 aims to streamline the process of ordering and using steel reinforcement for concrete construction. This helps to ensure consistency and accuracy in the placement and use of reinforcing steel, ultimately improving the effectiveness and durability of concrete structures.
