    The document provides guidelines for estimating the typical weight of reinforcement in common concrete building elements as well as formulas and rules of thumb for calculating rebar quantities in reinforced concrete structures. It lists the recommended weight of reinforcement in kg/m3 for bases, beams, columns, slabs, walls and other elements, and provides heavier weights for exposed elements. It also gives average reinforcement weights for different building types. Formulas are given to calculate the weight of reinforcement bars based on their diameter. Rules of thumb state reinforcement can be taken as 0.15% of the gross concrete area or 1.5 to 2.0 kg/square foot.

    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

    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....
