3 Estimating And Costing

Exercise No. 3
1.0 Title:
TAKING OUT QUANTITIES FOR SMALL R.C.C. STRUCTURE SUCH AS HALL.

2.0 Prior Concept :

Units of measurements of various items of work.

3.0 New Concepts :

3.1 Propositions
Proposition 1 : Length of straight Bar with Hooks at both ends

S = End cover

L = Clear span

FIGURE 3.1 b = End Bearing

Fig. of Beam

Length of straight Bar (main) = Clear span + 2X (End Bearing) - 2 X End cover+2 X 9d
= ( L +2 X b ) -2 X s + 2 X 9d, where d is diameter of bar.
Proposition 2 = Length of Bent up Bar with hooks at both ends

FIGURE 3.2
Additional length due to inclination = 1.414x - x = 0.414x
.'. x = center to center distance between top portion & bottom portion of bars.
= Total depth of beam - (Top & Bottom cover) - half dia. of main bar at top - half dia. of main
bar at bottom
Length of bent up bar = length of straight Bar + 2 (Additional length due to inclination)
= ( L +2 X b ) -2 X s + 2 X 9d +2X 0.414x
Proposition 3 :- Length of stirrups (Mild Steel)
Depth of stirrups = Total Depth - Top cover - Bottom Cover
Width stirrups = Total width - 2 (Side cover)
Length of stirrups = 2 (Depth of stirrups) +
2 (Width of stirrups) +
Length of hook (15 cm / 24 x Φ)
where Φ - diameter of bar
Proposition 4 :- Number of stirrups
Total length - 2 x end cover
No. of stirrups = ---------------------------------------- + 1
Spacing

Proposition 5 :- Weight of bar

Weight of bar per running meter
= C/s Area of bar x density of bar
= (πΦ2) x 7850 kg/m3
4
= Φ2 Kg/m where Φ is in 'mm'
162
Proposition 6 :- Quantity of Bar
Quantity of Reinforcement = No. of Bars x Length of Bar x Wt of bar in Kg/m
Note : Standard length of one Reinforcement bar = 12m
Proposition 7 :- Lap length
Lap length in column = 45 Φ
Lap length in beam and slab = 69 Φ
Φ is in 'mm'
Proposition 8 :- Quantity of Form work

1) For RCC Beam

Quantity = (b+2d) x l Sq. meter

2) For RCC Rectangular Column

Quantity = 2 (l+b) x h Sq. meter

3) For RCC Circular Column

Quantity = π x d x h Sq. meter
