STEEL REINFORCEMENT TO CONCRETE
(PART I)
 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
 TAKING OFF AND SQUARING
GENERAL

 Mild steel deformed bars manufactured by thermo mechanical

treatment process are used in the works in MES. TMT Bars are
manufactured based on IS (Indian Standards) and FE 500 & FE
500D TMT Bars are mostly used.
 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

 1. Generally, steel reinforcement is measured on weight basis i.e. Kilogram(Kg) by

conversion of lengths with the help of unit weights.
 2. Reinforcement bars have concrete cover and the thickness of such cover is
exclusive of plaster or other decorative finish. For each structural member the cover
to be provided is different depending upon the exposure conditions. However, in any
case the cover shall not exceed 75 mm.
 3. Spacing between the bars mentioned in the drawing is the centre to centre
distance between the bars.
 4. Mild steel binding wire(annealed) not less than 0.9mm dia about 1Kg per 1Qtl of
reinforcement is used in the works. However, MES SSR rates are including provision
of mild steel binding wire also.

only) as per details given and sketch given hereinafter and prepare estimate of the same
based on SSR 2020:.-
 i) Size of column : 0.35 x 0.35m, 5 Nos
 ii) Mix of concrete : RCC M25 design mix
 iii) Cover to footing : 50mm
 iv) Cover to column : 40mm
 v) Formwork is fair finished.
 vi) All dimensions are in m.
 Prepare estimate of the following:-
 a) RCC in footing and column.
 b) Formwork to footing and column.
 c) Reinforcement to footing and column.
