Preparation of Reinforcement Bar Bending Schedules 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. BarBeQue software takes care of both these aspects, for preparation of Bar Bending Schedules and Quantity Estimation of Reinforcement steel. BarBeQue software is not Excel or any spreadsheet based, neither it runs under any CAD package. It is complete standalone 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 directly printed through this package. The dimensions of each bar are entered in a tabular form. Deductions in the bar lengths for bending, is done with different ways, as per IS or BS codes or as per practices followed at sites. Diameters wise break up of Reinforcement Steel Quantities is printed in the summary.

Almost all possible bar shapes are available in the bar library, with their formulae for calculating deductions in the bar lengths. Dimensions of the bars are to be entered in user-friendly dialog boxes.

BarBeQue software is not Excel or any spreadsheet based neither it runs through any CAD package. It is simple to operate and there is no need of thorough knowledge of a CAD package. However BBS sheets are generated are in DXF format compatible with all-popular CAD packages.

Once the cut the lengths of each bar are calculated, program sorts these lengths in the decreasing order for each Diameter. It applies optimization routines to place these cut lengths in the purchased Bar Lengths (say 12 Mt), such that the wastage is minimum.
