UK Rebar Shape Codes Overview

The document outlines the revised British Standard BS 8666:2005 for scheduling, dimensioning, bending, and cutting of steel reinforcement for concrete, which came into effect on January 1, 2006. It includes various shape codes and their corresponding total length formulas, as well as maximum bending radius values for different bar sizes. Additionally, it mentions that all other shapes not covered by specific codes are designated as Shape Code 99, requiring full drawings.

Shape Codes
BS 8666:2005: Scheduling, dimensioning, bending
and cutting of steel reinforcement for concrete.

The revised British Standard for scheduling came into


effect on the 1st January 2006, replacing BS8666:2000.
However, both specifications are still in use with regards to
specific shape codes, but the significant updates included
in 8666:2005 must be respected.
