How to calculate steel quantity for slab

• Slabs are plan structures whose


thickness is quite small as compare to
another dimension. Slabs are mostly
used in roof covering and floor in
various shapes like square, rectangle,
or circular. But here we will calculate
only the estimate of the steel rod for
Slab.
Slab Reinforcing Steel Bars

Here we will only discuss “How to calculate steel


quantity for slab?”

• Let us take an example, we have to calculate the


quantity of steel of slab having dimension 9.0 M.
(30ft.)as long span and 4.5M. (15ft.)as short
span. The Longest side steel rod is called the
main rods while the shortest side steel rods are
called distribution bars.
We will complete the numerical in three steps given below.
• Remember That, the formula to calculate the
weight of steel rod is given by,

• W= D2/52.9 x Total Length (If the length is in feet


and diameter is in mm)

• and, W=D2/152.25 x Length (If the length is in


meter and diameter in mm)

• Here the length is in feet so, we will use the


formula for length in feet.
Calculated Weight of Bars
How To Calculation RSB In Slab
• In this exclusive civil engineering article you
will learn how to make steel calculation in
slab with steel calculation formula.

• Mainly three types of RCC slab are found in


construction work i.e.
• 1. Flat slab
• 2. One way slab
• 3. Two way slab
• Two types of steel reinforcement
are provided in RCC slab - one is
main bar that is useful for shortest
distance with greater dimension
and second one is distribution bar
that is useful for longer distance
with lesser dimension. It is also
known as longer span bar.
• Thumb rule for Steel essential for RCC slab
should be 80 kgs/m3, then quantity of steel
essential for 100 sq ft ( 0.944 m3) RCC
slab is equivalent to 80 × 0.944 = 75.5 Kgs.

• Mild steel bars (IS: 432, part-I -1982) are


mainly provided for tensile stress of RCC
(Reinforced cement concrete) slab, beams
etc. in reinforced cement concrete work.
These steel bars are plain in surface and
contain round sections of diameter from 6
to 50 mm.
How To Find Steel Quantity In Slab
• In order to calculate the quantity of steel in a RCC
slab, the following steps are followed :-
• 1. Create a bar bending schedule to categorize
the bars for various shapes (bent up, straight
anchor bar , eos bar, curtail bar etc) and dia’s.
• 2. Make a list of all the shapes of bar available in
the drawing.
• 3. Compute the no of bars of each of those
shapes.
• 4. After that workout the cutting length of each of
those bars with the following formula.
• Cutting length of bar = length of the member -
deduction for cover on both sides + development
length
• 5. After that workout the unit weight of each dia
bars.
• d^/162 where d denotes the dia in mm and weight
(w ) should be provided in kg
• 6. Then determine the weight of rebar with the
following steel calculation formula.
• Weight of rebar= no of bars x cutting length x unit
weight
• 7. Sum up all the weight to obtain the total steel
quantity.
