Steel Weight and Percentages
Example:
Length of the Concrete Section 1000 mm
Width of the Concrete Section 1000 mm
Thickness of the Concrete Section 1000 mm
Plan Section
Number of bars in each direction = Length (1000) / Spacing (200) 5
Number of bars in both faces and both directions (per meter length) 20
Length of each bar 1000 mm
Total of the Reinforcement steel bars 20000 mm
Cross Sectional Area of the Each D20 bar = (3.14159/4 * D2) 314 mm2
Total Volume of Steel 6283185 mm3
Total Volume of Steel (in meters) 0.006283 m3
Total Volume of Concrete Volume = (1 * 1 * 1) 1 m3
Percentage of Steel = (Steel Volume / Concrete Volume)*100 0.628 %
