What is the thumb rule and how we can calculate steel present in concrete?
By using the thumb rule we can find the quantity of steel that should be used given by practices done on-site.
We know that 1M³ steel weight is 7850 Kg.
We know for beam steel quantity should be 1-2 %
Therefore minimum steel requirement in beams=1%
Therefore quantity of steel present =(1/100)*1= 0.01m³
Weight of steel =0.01×7850=78.50 kg
Maximum percentage of steel =2%
Quantity of steel present= (2/100)*1=0.02m³
Weight of steel=0.02×7850=157 kg
Likewise, We Can Calculate For Slab Columns And Foundation Also.
