Rebar Detailing


Rebar detailing is the discipline of preparing 'shop/placing' drawings or shop drawings of steel reinforcement for construction.

Architect/Engineers(A/E) prepare 'Design Drawings' that develop required strengths by applying rebar size, spacing, location, and lap of steel.By contrast, 'Shop/Placing Drawings' apply the intent of the 'Design drawings' for the ironworker. They call out the quantity, description, placement, bending shapes with dimensions and laps of the reinforcing steel. Various applications are used to produce bar bending schedules which can be directly fed into CNC machines that cuts and bends the rebar to the desired shapes.

The fabrication of the bars are scheduled and the placing/fixing sequence indicated, adding the elements required to support those bars during construction. V+V Design has an excellent team for rebar detailing which gives you precise steel shapes, sizes and quantities.
