Rebar shop drawing lengths
Rebar shop drawing lengths
(OP)
I have a quick one (yes I am new to the job). I am reviewing some shop drawings for rebar and the bending detail schedule had dimensions (which are probably some standard I dont know about) that I dont understand. It has lengths like "1-111" and "0-08".
Teach me sumtin!

I'm not checking the lengths per se, I'm just trying to figure out what they are doing in a particular area to be sure it is what we had in mind.

Check if that first one could be 1'-11-1/8" or something of the sort- the final fraction could be eights or sixteenths or whatever, I don't recall. And the 0-08 would be 0'-8".
It's not unreasonable to call the folks up that did it and ask them what that means.

All of the shop drawings we have ever produced have been with that nomenclature and the last number was 8ths.

miecz, our office never checks rebar length either. We check the size, spacing, laps, dowels,etc. If I have time I might check a few lengths. But I can tell you what happens if you start to correct them on too many length errors, the contractor and the rebar supplier start to rely on you to do their work.
