The calculation is based on Thumb Rules, it is essential for any civil engineer, Site engineer, or civil supervisor. They play and help a crucial role while taking quick decisions on site. To get the exact quantity it is always advised to go through design calculation.
For slab/lintel steel required 0.7% – 1 %
Minimum percentage of steel =0.7%
∴ Quantity of steel = (0.7/100) x 1 = 0.007 m³
Weight of steel = 0.007 x 7850 = 54.95 ≊ 55 kg
Maximum percentage of steel = 1.0%
∴ Quantity of steel = (1.0/100) x 1 = 0.01 m³
Weight of steel = 0.01 x 7850 = 78.5 kg
2. Beam
For Beam steel required 1% – 2%
Minimum percentage of steel =1.0%
∴Quantity of steel = (1.0/100) x 1 = 0.01 m³
Weight of steel = 0.01 x 7850 = 78.5 kg
Maximum percentage of steel = 2.0%
∴ Quantity of steel = (2.0/100) x 1 = 0.02 m³
Weight of steel = 0.02 x 7850 = 157 kg
3. Column
For column steel required 0.8% – 6 %
Minimum percentage of steel =0.8%
∴Quantity of steel = (0.8/100) x 1 = 0.008 m³
Weight of steel = 0.008 x 7850 = 62.80 kg
Maximum percentage of steel = 6.0%
∴ Quantity of steel = (6.0/100) x 1 = 0.06 m³
Weight of steel = 0.06 x 7850 = 471 kg
4. Foundation
For Foundation 0.5 to 0.8 % of steel is required.
Minimum percentage of steel =0.5%
∴ Quantity of steel = (0.5/100) x 1 = 0.005 m³
Weight of steel = 0.005 x 7850 = 39.25 kg
Maximum percentage of steel =0.8%
∴ Quantity of steel = (0.8/100) x 1 = 0.008 m³
Weight of steel = 0.008 x 7850 = 62.80 kg
