3.0 Specification Requirements
a) All reinforcement shall comply with BS4449 with the following notations and
characteristic strengths:
- “T” for high yield Type 2 deformed bar, characteristic strength of 460 N/mm2.
- “R” for mild steel round bar, characteristic strength of 250 N/mm2.
b) Minimum lap length shall be determine according to BS5400: Part 4 as follows:
- Normal 45d
- Multiplier 1.4 63d
- Multiplier 2.0 90d
- Where d is the diameter of the smaller lapped bar.
c) Multiplier 1.4 is used when:
(i) The nominal cover to the lapped bars from the top face is less than 2d; or
(ii) The clear distance between the lap and another pair of lapped bars is less than
150mm; or
(iii) A corner bar is being lapped and the nominal cover to either face is less than
2d.

d) Multiplier 2.0 shall be used when condition (i) and (ii) or conditions (i) and (iii)
apply.
4.0 Bar Bend And Hook Details
5.0 Delivery And Storage
a) After purchase of rebar, the mill certificates from manufacturer shall be submitted for
consultant approval before deliver to site.
b) After delivery to site, the bar tag per bundle of rebar shall be collected and ensure the
bar tag heat numbers are match to the mill certificate serial number.
c) The rebar shall be placed on support of timber with differential of size together for
the ease of keep track.
Method Statement For Steel Reinforcement
d) Then the bundle rebar shall be covered by canvas from protection of rainwater.
6.0 Fabrication And Installation
a) The rebar shall be fabricated according to the construction drawings with indicate of
structure reinforcement details.
b) The rebar shall be cut and bent by using bar bending machine.
c) The cut and bent rebar shall be stored properly with covered by canvas.
d) After laying lean concrete and marking survey setting out of centre line of foundation
works, the rebar are installed and tied firmly by wires as according to the drawings.
e) The concrete cover which made from cement block or spacer shall be tie together
with the rebar. The following shows the concrete cover for different structures.
Structure Element Concrete Cover (mm)
Pilecaps 75
Abutments Walls / Wingwalls 50
Transition Slab 40
Pilecap for Anchoring Micropiles Pilecaps 75
Bridge Deck Concrete Slab 35
f) Before closing or installing of formwork, the rebar cage shall be inspected for type,
size and accuracy of placing then approved by Resident Engineer.
