  • How Much Quantity of Steel Required For 1m3 Concrete?

    The quantity of steel required for 1m3 of concrete depends on the type of structure being built, not just the volume of concrete. Typical quantities range from: - Foundation: 0.5-0.8% or 39-63 kg/m3 - Columns: 0.8-6% or 63-471 kg/m3 - Beams: 1-2% or 79-157 kg/m3 - Slabs: 0.7-1% or 55-79 kg/m3 The exact amount will be determined by the structural engineer based on the design and loading conditions. Thumb rules provide approximate guidance but design calculations are necessary.

    Quantity of steel is not dependent on the volume of concrete, but on the structure where it is being used.

    Slabs: 0.7 to 1.0%,


    Beams: 1% to 2%,
    Columns: 1% to 5%

    It may vary depending upon the loading condition as well

    For Example
    Lets take example of RCC Column, where reinforcement required is 2 % of concrete volume, weight of
    steel required will be:
    (2/100*1)*7850 (steel density )-per m3 steel-157 kg

    However if you require an approximate value, then we can follow thumb rule for steel requirement that
    provides a rough value of Steel quantity per M3 used

    Footing - 80 kg/cumec
    column - 160 kg/ cumec
    Beam - 110 kg/ cumec
    slab - 80 kg / cumec

    P.s : the thumb rule is just an appr. value given taking into task of normal dimension of structure provided.
    its always better to go through design calculation

    Required Quantity Of steel for 1m3 concrete is

    Generally we are consider 100kgs steel per cum of concrete


    for calculation which will give the rough quantity of steel
    required for project

    Steel quantity for different -2 structural members are

    for columns 2-3%


    for slabs 0.5-1.5%
    for beams 1-1.5%
    for piles 2-5%

    Thanks for the A2A

    Best Of Luck Ahead :)

    Quantity of steel in concrete depending on type of structure and load of structure.

    1. For Foundation :- 0.5 to 0.8 % steel are required

    Let we take minimum 0.5 % of steel is required on 1 m3 concrete


    Open in App
    Then quantity of steel. = (0.5/100)×1× 7850

    = 39.25 kg

    7850 = density of steel

    If we take maximum 0.8% steel is required

    Then quantity of steel is = (0.8/100)× 7850

    = 62.8 kg

    2. For column :- 0.8 - 6 % of steel required


    Continue Reading
    For minimum 0.8 %. = (0.8/100)×7850

    It's depend upon where you want to use it. In slab?, Beam?, Columns?, foundation?, Lintel ?etc.

    Thanks for the ask, but this is not something I know much about.

    I think you are asking about the rebar, reinforcing rods, used in pouring concrete.

    If so, this is determined either by building code in your area, or the specific engineering required to support
    your design.

    You need a bit more clarity in your question, and either an engineer or a concrete speciallist to get a solid
    answer.

    The quantity of steel depends on the type of structure, not on concrete volume. The quantity of steel varies
    from member to member such as beam, column, slab, footings etc. Because the load carrying capacity of
    different members is different.

    Suppose a column is to build with 4% concrete volume. So the steel required for that column is

    = (4/100)x1 x 7850 [ Density of 1m³ steel = 7850 kg]

    We can follow the following thumb rules for different RCC members.

    1. Steel requirement for RCC beam = 1 to 2% or 78.5 kg to 157 kg/m³


    Open in App
    2. Steel requirement for RCC column = 0.8 to 6 % or 62.8 kg to 471 kg/m³
    3. Steel requirement for RCC Slab = 0.7 to 1% or 55 kg to 78.5 kg/m³

    4. Steel requirement for RCC Lintel = 0.7 to 1% or 55 kg to 78.5 kg/m³

    5. Steel requirement for Foundation = 0.5 to 0.8% or 34.25 to 62.8 kg/m³

    150 - 300 Kg depending on what structural element you are designing for.

    That’s a very general question – The amount of reinforcement in concrete is put according to the structural
    design, which in itself depends on many factors. Also, it depends on where this 1M3 of concrete will be?

    I will still try to give you some ‘general’ - or rules of thumb - figures:

    1. Footings and mat foundations require the least amount - and the range is between 80KG - 90KG
    of steel per M3

    2. Slabs and beams require some more - the range is between 100KG - 110KG of steel per M3

    3. Columns require the most amount - which can go up to 180 KG of steel per M3

    I hope I have narrowed down for you a bit.

    im guessing your talking about reinforcing bar ? that is determined by the engineer and architect.
    unfortunately theres no easy answer as it depends on what is specified for the strength of hardened
    cement, and the grade of reinforcing bar the engineer wants as well as any code requirements .
