Answer / rajendra.l.d

The question should be framed thus: "How to calculate
quantity of steel for practical purpose of construction"....
"In a given RCC design" it is simple to arrive at the
quantity by calculating the lenght of each bar & multiply
with the unit weight of given dia.
The thumb rule for calculating steel quantity is 1.5 to 2.0
Kg/Sft....

Answer / shalim

d x d / 162 kg/m.where d =diameter of bar in mm

Answer / sjtbehera

For all pratical purpose you can calculate steel by
measurment given by drg.All sreels come with their unit
weight. by calculating their respective unit weight toal
wt. can be calculated.

FOR SLAB 80KG PER CUM
FOR BEAM 110 KG PER CUM
FOR COLUMN 160KG PER PER CUM
FOR WALL 80 KG PER CUM
FOR SHELVES 80KG PER CUM
FOR STAIR CASE 100 KG PER CUM

Answer / pallavi

The quantity of steel can be calculated by formula:
d*d/162 kg/m. where d=diameter of bar in metre
this formula has been derived by relation
density=mass/volume
However, percentage of steel in rcc structure can be taken
as 0.15% of the gross area of cocrete

Answer / muhammad younas

calculation for one meter is d*d/162.162 d=dia of steel (mm)

than mutiply by length of steel bar

Answer / azizurrehman

formula=d*d/162.162 d is Dia of steel in mm
then multiply with bars

Answer / adnan khan

for all practical purposes calculation of steel should be find in bar bending schedule which we can easily understand that which types of bars used and the weight different for all steel dia.
