Radius Bending

Reinforcement to be formed to a radius exceeding that specified in the table below shall be supplied straight. The required curvature may be obtained during placing. For shapes with straight and curved lengths (e.g. shape codes 13 and 33) the largest practical radius for the production of a continuous curve is 200mm, and for larger radii the curve may be produced by a series of short straight sections.
