Common use of Bending Clause in Contracts

Bending. Reinforcing steel shall conform accurately to the dimensions shown on the plans. A hook at tlle end of a bar shall be of form C and shall have an inner diamete, of the least four times the diameter of the bar. The length of the straight bars beyond the end of the curve to the end of the hook shall be at least four times the dia of the bar. Bars shall not be bent or straightened in a manner that will injure the materials Bars with kinds or bends shall not be used. Bars shall be bent cold to the shape and dimension as shown in the drawings or as directed by the Superintending Engineer using xxx xxxxxx operated by hand or power to obtain the proper radii of bends. The radii of all bends shall conform to the requirements given below: The internal radius expressed in bar diameters of a bend in a reinforcing bar shall not be less than the , value obtained by dividing the stress developed in the steel at the commencement of the bend by four times the permissible stress in the concrete in direct compression where the minimum concrete cover is used, and not less than two-thirds this value where conditions are such that there is no danger of splitting the concrete. .
