2. The table is based on assumption that the voids in sand and crushed stone
are 40 and 45 percent respectively.
4. No allowance has been made in the table for bulking of sand and wastage./>
1. Estimation of materials:
Material estimation include sand, cement, coarse aggregate and steel for a
particular mix design. Let us consider a mix design of 1:1.5:3 for our estimation
practice. The dry volume of total materials required is considered as 1.54 times
the wet volume of concrete, due to voids present in sand and aggregates in dry
stage. Therefore, for our calculation, we will consider the total volume of
materials required as 1.54 m3 for 1 m3 of wet concrete.
=0.28 m3
First method is, when we have the drawing available, we can calculate the total
weight of steel required divided by total volume of concrete for different
components. This will give us the weight of reinforcement steel per cubic meter
of concrete.
=196.25 kg.
a) Mason: As per Standard Schedule of Rates and Analysis of Rates, One mason
is required for 0.37 days.
4. Contractor’s Profit:
We have calculated the quantity of every item in above 1 – 3 steps. For rate
analysis of RCC, we need to multiply each quantity with their rates to get the
amount for every item of work. Rates vary from place to place and time to time.
It is advisable to assume local rates or standard rates of the place.
The sum total of all the four items above will give the rate or cost for 1m 3 of
concrete.
