Bar bending schedule

Calculation basis : This is not a substitute for BS 8666 / ACI 318 / CRSI tables. A responsible engineer must verify hooks, radii, laps and machine dimensions before fabrication. Read calculation basis (PDF).

1D MULTI-STOCK NEST

Cutting nest

Best-fit decreasing across multiple stock lengths, reusing kept remnants first. Heuristic — not a certified shop optimiser. Compared against a naive one-bar-per-piece baseline.
