ALLPLAN Engineering

the ultimate Rebar Software for Engineers and Detailers

Rebar Software

Rebar software helps structural engineers and reinforcement detailers produce an accurate and comprehensive set of reinforcement documentation. These reinforcement drawings and schedules are used to fabricate the rebar and ensure it is installed correctly on site.

What Is Rebar Software?

Rebar detailing software helps engineers and detailers create an accurate and comprehensive set of reinforcement documentation, which includes the placing drawings and the bar bending schedule. With 2D CAD software, creating the placing drawings is an onerous task, requiring several operations and drawings.

3D rebar CAD software such as ALLPLAN Engineering significantly simplifies this process. Any component can be quickly and easily reinforced with the built-in tools, and then adjusted to the correct dimensions and properties. The detailing is completed as the reinforcement is modeled, with annotations and tags added and pre-filled with the information already present in the model, such as bar size. This makes the detailing process much quicker as well as more accurate.

Finally, by using the reporting features in rebar detailing software like ALLPLAN Engineering, the bar bending schedule can be created in just a few clicks. Simply use the included templates that are based on commonly used codes or create a custom report that will display the desired bar bending schedule information.

Hydropower Plant Nepal

Lamjung, District of Nepal

The construction of the Middle Marsyangdi Power Plant in the Lamjung District of Nepal (around 170 km west of Kathmandu) has made it possible to utilise the country's central hydro power resources.

Bridge Design

Queensferry Crossing

Edinburgh, Scotland (GB)

The Queensferry Crossing near Edinburgh in Scotland is a cablestayed bridge with three pylons over 200 m in height. It is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Europe and benefitted from ultramodern reinforcement planning in 3D.

Urban Bliss: Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier

Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, realised by investor and project developer Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, is an extraordinary urban district located in Hamburg’s vibrant HafenCity. A fusion of residential, commercial (incl. retail, gastronomy, medical services and offices), cultural, and leisure spaces, in combination with a cruise terminal, it has become one of the most remarkable inner-city construction projects in Europe.

How the Puskás Aréna Changed a Company

KÖZTI Architects & Engineers is one of the oldest design firms in Hungary yet has been using digital solutions since the mid-1990s. For the construction of the iconic Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary in 2013, KÖZTI took the next step towards digital design with open BIM software solutions, including ALLPLAN.

Visualizing a New Viaduct with BIM

To the west of Paris, a new train line is in development to serve both Parisians and the surrounding area. As part of the Eole project, the new RER E line will introduce 55km of new rail track, as well as new stations along the route. Set to open to passengers in 2024, the terminus of the new line is in the Mantes-la-Jolie triangle.

BIM2FIELD at KIBAG

BIM2FIELD is the logical step from BIM-based design to construction with BIM. Thanks to Bimplus and robust equipment, KIBAG is already successfully using BIM models on the construction site.

FAQ on Construction Software:

Why Do You Use Rebar For Concrete?

Concrete has a high compressive strength but very weak tensile strength. Steel reinforcement (often called rebar) is included within concrete in order to provide the tensile strength that concrete typically lacks.

For both precast and poured in-situ concrete, the required rebar is formed into what is called a reinforcement cage prior to the concrete being poured and cured. The cage is created by fixing bars of reinforcement together with ties or clamps. In some cases, the rebar will be welded together. Once the rebar is in place, the concrete is poured around the cage and allowed to cure. The rebar also has a textured or ribbed surface so that a mechanical bond is created between the rebar and the concrete.

What Is Meant By Rebar Detailing?

Rebar detailing is the process of creating the concrete reinforcement placing drawings (sometimes called the shop drawings) which are used to fabricate and install the required rebar. Rebar detailing may also be called rebar scheduling, RC detailing, RC drafting, or bar bending schedule preparation. The design (or engineering) drawings will show some rebar information. However, the steel fabricators and on-site workers who will install the reinforcement (for poured in-situ concrete) cannot work from these drawings. Instead, this information is included on the rebar placing drawings.

Each reinforcement bar needs to be cut to a specific size and may need to be bent into a particular shape to fit within the concrete component. The placing drawings contain more detailed information than the design drawings, such as the bar size and type, their placement, the bending shapes used, and the placing or fixing sequence. One of the most important aspects of the placing drawings is the bar bending schedule, which lists the number and size of the different bent shapes required in the project.
