Cutting Optimisation (IS 2502 / First Fit Decreasing)

Select a diameter group to see the optimal cutting plan from 12m stock bars. This minimises scrap using the First Fit Decreasing (FFD) bin packing algorithm.

Cost Estimation — Enter Rates

All rates are editable. Binding wire estimated at 1.2% of steel weight. GST at 18% on labour/fabrication charges.

Cost Breakdown
Development Length Calculator — IS 456:2000 Cl.26.2.1

Formula: Ld = φ × (0.87 × fy) / (4 × τbd). For HYSD (deformed) bars, τbd is enhanced by ×1.6 per IS 456 Table 5 Note.

Development Length Reference Table (Tension, Class A — Ld in mm)

Factor = Ld/dia. Per IS 456:2000 Table 5 × IS 1786 (HYSD ×1.6 bond enhancement). Tension Class A: multiply Ld by 1.3 for lap length.

⚠ Seismic Zones III / IV / V — IS 13920:2016 Additional Requirements

This calculator implements IS 456:2000 and IS 2502:2014. For seismic Zone III, IV or V, IS 13920:2016 imposes additional requirements — these must be verified with your structural engineer and are not auto-applied here.
