For simple structural components such as beams, columns and rectangular column bases (but not only them), the assembly drawing of the component may be included on the same sheet as the ‘schedule. Such drawings may be produced on A3 sheets on which the width of the schedule should be confined to the nominal width of an Ad sheet. 6.1.2 All hooks, bends and comer radii of bars shown in figure 3 shall be deemed to be standard values and are not reflected in dimensions in the schedule. For non-standard bars, dimensions of ‘standard hooks, bends and comer radii may be omitted and where so omitted they shall be deemed tobe standard values. NOTE For computer produced schedules, the column widthe and the size of the schedule may vay from those shown in fables 3 and 4, but the sequence of columns should be maintained.
