In the construction of any structure major work is done by labour. In column or beam there aremany horizontal and vertical rods to support the concrete, they are required to be tied together so that theygive enough strength to the structure. Square or any trapezoidal shape stirrups are used to tie rod together bymeans of tight wires. In small construction sites workers bend stirrup using traditional way. There is no otherway to make stirrup with less human effort. And for this reason automation is required which is the objectiveof the project presented.It is possible to decrease construction lead time with increase of the stirrup bending rate by automation only.Here an attempt is made to design and develop an ―Automated Stirrup Bending Mechanism‖ (ASBM) usingthe principles of hydraulics and electronics. Its use reduces a lot of labour cost, effort and construction leadtime and production of various sizes of stirrup and accuracy increases.
