Introduction
Concrete is widely used all over the world for many construction purposes. This concrete is undoubtedly the most reliable material used in the world of construction, but it lacks certain properties. It often undergoes cracking due to various reasons like insufficient curing, rapid gaining of strength, shrinking, bleeding and segregation and many more. Cracking is present in almost all types of concrete but the main difference between fibre reinforced concrete and ordinary concrete is the type of cracking. In ordinary concrete the cracking is sudden but this is not the case in fiber reinforced concrete. The cracking is not sudden as fiber reinforced concrete has a certain level of durability which gives sufficient time and indication that the structure is about to collapse. This level of flexibility is adopted in concrete by the use of fibres made of steel, glass, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. Further, here the properties and types will be discussed in order to have a view about such...

Bar bending schedule is a means to calculate the exact quantity of reinforcements required in a structure. It is helpful for any concrete work to know exact amount of cement, aggregate or sand required for a structure. It is referred to as BBS in short form. It involves calculating development length, diameter of bars to be used, stirrups, cutting length, crank length, and many more. It is a process of cutting and bending reinforcement bars into desired shape and size as per structural drawing. These drawings are handed by structural engineers for various structural elements like footing, column, beam, slab, etc. and then handed over to contractors for the execution of the work at site by the labors. The contractor must understand in depth before portraying it to the labors. BBS is necessary to the contractor as it is important in bidding for tenders. All these works play an important role without which work can’t proceed...
