This document provides a bar bending schedule and estimates the quantity of steel reinforcement required for different types of neck columns. It first describes what a neck column is and the importance of bar bending schedules. It then calculates the reinforcement required for main bars and stirrups in various column types including square, circular, T-shaped, and L-shaped columns. The calculations are based on assumptions of bar diameters, spacing between stirrups, and other dimensions. The document summarizes the total weight of steel required for each column, providing engineers with the information needed to estimate reinforcement quantities for neck columns in their designs.

Bar Bending Schedule for Neck Column / Estimationof Steelreinforcement in
Neck Column:-
Bar Bending schedule plays a very important role in estimating quantities of
steel reinforcement required forthe building. Before getting into Bar bending
schedule for Neck Column, I refer you to learn the how to Calculate Bar
Bending Schedule (basics) and how to adopt Concrete Cover for Steel
reinforcement.

Neck column:
The part of the column which is present in sub structure is called neck
column. (Column in substructure)
Well, the reason for this dividing column into two parts is to make ease in
understanding the Bar Bending schedule clearly.
QUANTITY OF REINFORCEMENT (STEEL)REQUIRED FOR NECK
COLUMNOR Bar Bending Schedule for Neck Column :-
In this post, I am finding out the Estimation of Steel reinforcement in Neck
Column/ Bar Bending Schedule for Neck column. For this, I considered a
plan as shown below.

2. Steps to be followedwhile finding out the total wt. of steelrequired for
constructing Neck columns:–
Neck column reinforcement calculation is divided into two parts Main bars
and stirrups.
Part-I:- Main Bars
1. Check the Length of Main bars
2. Add the overlap length and bend length to the neck column.
3. Adopt Dia of Main Bars
4. Calculate the total length of main bar.
5. Find the total wt of Main bars.
Part-II:- Stirrups
1. Deduce the concrete coverfrom all sides of tie/stirrups and find out the
length of stirrup.
2. Adopt Dia of Stirrup.
3. Calculate the length of stirrup including hook.
4. Then Find out the total no. of stirrups.
5. Find the total length of stirrups

3. 6. Lastly, Calculate the total wt. of stirrups.
Length, Dia and No. of Bars are adopted and designed by the structural
engineer by executing the load analysis.
To make it clear I included almost all types of columns. WellC1, C3, C4,
C6, C9 (Square Columns) are similar and C2, C8 (T-Column) C5 is
Circular Column, C7 is L Type column.
You can also refer different types of columns.
Assume for calculation:-
Dia of Main Bars = 16mm, Dia of Stirrups= 8mm, Spacing between stirrups
= 0.1m.
Length of Main bar excluding extra bars is 2.25m , Diameter of Circular
column C5 = 0.6
No. of Main Bars = 4 in Square column, No. of Main Bars = 8 in Circular & L
Type Column
No. of Main Bars = 10 in T Type Column
Column Details:-
C1, C3,C4, C6, C9 is Square Column (0.4mx 0.4m)
C5 Circular Column (Radius 0.3m)
C2, C8 T-Type Column
C7 L-Type Column
CALCULATION FOR THE QUANTITY OF NECK COLUMNS (MAIN
BARS):-
C1, C3,C4, C6, C9 is Square Column (0.4mx 0.4m):-

4. C5 Circular Column:-

5. Well,L Type Column(C7) has same No. of Main Bars as circular columnC5,
total wt of steel required for L type columns are 41.78 Kgs.
C2, C8 T-Type Column:-

6. CALCULATION FOR THE QUANTITY OF NECK COLUMNS
(STIRRUPS):-
C1, C3,C4, C6, C9 is Square Column (0.4mx 0.4m)
First of all deduct the concrete cover from all the sides of column for finding
out the length of stirrup.
As per the condition deduct the concrete cover of 0.05 from all sides of
stirrups in square column.

7. C5 Circular Column (Diameter0.6m):-
First of all deduct the concrete cover from all the sides of column for finding
out the length of stirrup.
As per the condition deduct the concrete cover of 0.1 from all sides of
stirrups in square column.

8. C2,C8 T-Type Column :-

9. C7 L-Typecolumn:–
