    This document discusses methods for estimating reinforcement quantities for concrete structures. It describes reinforcement as deformed steel bars or mesh embedded in concrete to increase its strength. Method 1 is a thumb rule method that estimates reinforcement needs based on structure type and concrete volume. Method 2 uses construction drawings to accurately calculate reinforcement quantities by determining bar lengths, diameters, bends and counts. The document provides an example estimating reinforcement for a beam using Method 2.

    WORKS

    CE323 - QUANTITY SURVEYING
    WHAT IS REINFORCEMENT?
    Reinforcement for concrete- is provided by
    embedding deformed steel bars or welded wire fabric
    within freshly made concrete at the time of casting.
    The purpose of reinforcement is to provide
    additional strength for concrete where it is needed.

    WHAT IS BEAM?
    In building construction, a beam is a horizontal member spanning
    an opening and carrying a load that may be a brick or stone wall
    above the opening. Beams support the weight of a building's
    floors, ceilings and roofs and to move the load to the framework
    of a vertical load bearing element

    WHAT IS COLUMN ?
    A column or pillar in architecture and structural engineering is a
    structural element that transmits, through compression, the
    weight of the structure above to other structural elements below.

    ESTIMATION OF BEAMS AND
    COLUMN REINFORCEMENT
    In order to determine the cost of an RCC structure and
    other building materials in accordance with the construction
    drawing, an estimation of the quantity of steel reinforcement
    is required. The accurate estimation of the building's
    reinforcement is crucial to the project's overall price.

    METHOD-1 : REINFORCEMENT ESTIMATION
    (THUMB RULE METHOD)
    This simplest method is based on the type of structure and the volume of the reinforced
    concrete elements.

    Average values for typical concrete


    frames:

    Heavy industrial = 130 kg/m3


    Commercial = 100 kg/m3
    Institutional = 90 kg/m3
    Residential = 85 kg/m3

    METHOD-2 : REINFORCEMENT
    ESTIMATION (ACCURATE METHOD):
    This method requires the drawings and schedules. The drawings used in this
    estimation are the representative of actual structure.

    METHOD-2 : REINFORCEMENT
    ESTIMATION (ACCURATE METHOD):
    Calculation for Bar 1: Calculation for Bar 2: Calculation for Bar 3:

    Bar 1: Bar 2: Bar 3:


    b = 4000 + (2 x 230) – (2 x 40)= a = 200 b = 4000 + (2 x 230) – (2 a = 230 – (2x40) = 140 c = 375 –
    4380 x 40) = 4380 (2x40) = 285
    Cutting Length = 4380 mm Deduction : (2 x dia x no. of Cutting Length: (2A + 2C) +
    bends) = 2 x 20 x 2 24d = (2x 140 + 2x 285) + 24x8
    Cutting Length = (2x200) + = 1042 mm
    (4380) – (2 x 20 x 2) = 4700 mm No. of Stirrups: (4000/180) +
    1 = 23.22 = 24

    METHOD-2 : REINFORCEMENT
    ESTIMATION (ACCURATE METHOD):
    Number of bars:

    Suppose the spacing of stirrups is 150 c/c and the length along which they
    are placed is 6800 mm, we can find the number of bars by the formula below
    [ Length / Spacing] + 1 = number of bars
    [ 6800 / 150] + 1 = 46.33
    In this case, we always round up. Hence, we require 47 stirrups.

    METHOD-2 : REINFORCEMENT
    ESTIMATION (ACCURATE METHOD):
    Cutting Length:

    Cutting Length = True Length of a bar – Deductions For 45 degree


    Cutting length = Total length – 1 x Dia of bar x No. of bends For 90 degree
    Cutting length = Total length – 2 x Dia of bar x No. of bends

    For stirrups:
    90 degree hook: Length of stirrup = (2A + 2B) + 20 x dia
    135 degree hook: Length of stirrup = (2A + 2B) + 24 x dia
