Question About Old Rebar Designation
Question About Old Rebar Designation
(OP)
Hi Everyone!
I have an old civil drawing. I guess it comes from the 80's. This drawing was made by a British Consultant. My difficulty is to dechiper the rebar designation. In the drawings, one of the rebar is written as 1601. What does it mean? I want to know the diameter and the spacing. Here is the picture, I mark the rebar designation to decipher with the red mark below

Thanks for your help guys.

Is there a table or schedule in the drawing set that defines the bar size and spacing?

Thanks for the answers and I am sorry for the late reply.
This drawings are made by MW Kellogg. They built ammonia-urea Plant & its Supporting Facilities. The drawings which I attached above is the Jetty Drawings.
And I think that is the main problem. Since it is an old drawings, mostly the supplementary documents are lost. Do you guys have previous experience with this company? If you do, then maybe you have the Bars Designation. I assume that they have the standards drawings for the same works which is applied for other projects.
Thanks again for your help.
