Reinforcement Based on % of Steel

Reinforcement %( of c.s. of concrete) 0.5 % 0.8% 1.0 % 1.20% 1.50% 2.0 % 2.5 % 3.0 % 3.5 % 4.0 % 4.5 % 5.0 %

Quantity of Steel in Kg / m3 39 63 78 94 117 158 196 235 274 313 352 392

Note:
20 % should be added in these values to take in to account laps, bends, wastage etc., while computing Kg / m3.
