1. Obtain slab dimension and reinforcement details from design drawings as shown in Fig.1.
In equation 1, center to center spacing of main reinforcement steel bars are used and
shrinkage and temperature bar spacing is used in equation 2.
Where:
3. Convert that length into kilograms or tons because steel bars are ordered by weight.
The same equation used for both main and shrinkage and temperature reinforcement,
but corresponding cutting length, number of bars, and bar diameter is used.
( /162) is the weight of a steel which is derived from steel volume times its density
which is 7850 kg/m3.
4. Convert that length into kilograms or Tons. This can be done by multiplying cross section
area of steel by its total length by density of steel which 7850 kg/m3
The above calculation procedure is for single reinforcing net. Therefore, for footings
with the double reinforcing net, the same procedure need to be used again to compute
steel quantity for another reinforcing net.
2. Convert that length into kilograms or Tons. This can be done by multiplying cross section
area of steel by its total length by density of steel which 7850 kg/m3
Stirrups
1. Compute cutting length of stirrups using the following equation
Cutting length=2*((w-cover)+(h-cover))+Ld Equation 10
where:
w: column width
h: column depth
2. Calculate number of stirrup by dividing column height over stirrup spacing plus
one.
3. Estimate total length of stirrup which is equal to stirrup cutting length times number
of stirrups.
4. Convert that length into kilograms or Tons. This can be done by multiplying cross
section area of steel by its total length by density of steel which 7850 kg/m3.
Total steel quantity of column equal to the sum of both main and stirrup steels.
