The Rebar That's Already in the Formwork When Someone Decides to Check
Structural rebar inspection in reinforced concrete construction is a race against the pour. Once the concrete is placed, the reinforcement is invisible — what's inside stays inside, and if it was wrong, you find out when the structure behaves unexpectedly under load or when destructive testing during demolition decades later reveals the discrepancy. The inspection window between rebar placement and concrete pour is the only moment the reality of the structure is visible and correctable.
This template captures that moment, by axis, by beam, by bar count.
QC Number, Axis Location, Design Reference: The Three-Field Anchor
梁品管編號 (Beam QC Number), 軸位 (Axis Position), 梁設計編號 (Beam Design Number). The QC number ties the inspection record to the project's quality control system. The axis position — Y-axis in this template, complementing a separate X-axis inspection log — places the beam spatially within the structural grid. The design number links back to the structural drawings: the engineer's specification for what should be there.
梁設計斷面 (Beam Design Section) is the cross-section designation from the structural drawing set. When the as-built rebar configuration is compared against the design section, discrepancies are either accepted with engineer sign-off or rectified before the pour. A beam scheduled for 4T25 top bars that has been placed with 3T25 is not a minor variation — it's a structural deficiency, and the design section field is the reference that makes the discrepancy visible.
Top and Bottom Main Bars: Nine Counts That Define the Beam
Upper layer: left main bars, centre main bars, right main bars. Lower layer: left, centre, right. That's six bar count fields covering the full cross-section of the primary reinforcement. The split into left/centre/right captures continuity steel distribution, curtailment points, and lapping arrangements that a single "total bar count" field would obscure.
Left stirrups, centre stirrups, right stirrups. Stirrup count and spacing (documented in the 箍筋間距照 spacing photo) determine shear capacity. A beam correctly reinforced for flexure but understirrruped for shear is a brittle failure mode — the kind that gives no warning before sudden collapse. The three-position stirrup count catches both uniform and variable spacing arrangements that match the structural drawing's zone-based shear design.
腰筋 (Waist bars / side face reinforcement) is the field that the younger inspector often omits because it's not visible from above. Waist bars run longitudinally along the side faces of deep beams to control crack width. They're called out specifically in the design for beams above a certain depth, and their absence is invisible once the formwork is stripped.
Four Photo Slots and One Inspection Status Field
遠照 (distant overview), 箍筋間距照 (stirrup spacing), 梁斷面照 (beam cross-section), plus two general-purpose shots. The spacing photo is the one the site engineer needs to see before approving the pour — it shows the actual measured distance between stirrups at the critical zones, not the placement crew's estimate.
查驗狀況 (Inspection Status) is the field that closes the record: pass, conditional, or fail. When it's fail, the record stays open until the remediation is documented and the re-inspection passes. The concrete doesn't go in until the status field says otherwise.
