Estimate Quantity Of Reinforcement in Roof Slab

Data of Calculate Steel in Rcc Slab

 Length of the Slab = 5 m = 5000 mm
 Width of the Slab = 2 m = 2000 mm
 Thickness of Slab = 0.150m = 150 mm
Step 1. Number of Main Bar & Distribution Bar:

First, we have to calculate the number of bar required for the slabs. Here we have to
calculate the number of main bar and distribution bar.

Number of Main Bar

Formula for calculating a number of bar is as follows.

Number of Bars = ( Total length of the slab – 2 x clear cover)/ centre to centre
spacing of the bars + 1

 Number of Bar = (5000- 2 x 25 ) 100 +1

 Number of Bar = 50.5 = 51 nos
 There are 51 nos of main bars are required for the slab.
Distribution of Main Bars

Calculation of number of distribution bars

Distribution Bars= (Total length of the slab – 2 x clear cover)/center to center

spacing of the bars + 1

 Distribution Bar = (2000- 2 x 25) /125 +1

 Distribution Bar = 16.6 = 17 bar
 The number of distribution bar are 17 no.
Step 2. Calculate the Cutting Length of Bar:

Calculate the cutting length of bar

For the main bar

 L= Clear span of the slab

 Ld = Development length which is 40 d where d is the diameter of the bar
Calculate the value of D

Development Length = Thickness of slab – 2 x clear cover – diameters bar

 Development Length = 150 – 2 x 25 -12

 Development Length = 88 mm
Main Bar Cutting Length

Formula for calculating the cutting length of Main Bars are as follows

Main Bar Cutting Length = Length – 2 x Ld + ( 1 x 0.42 D ) – (2 x 1 d)

 Main Bar Cutting Length = 2000 + ( 2 x 40 x 12) + (1 X 0.42 X 88)- ( 2 x 1

x 12)
 Cutting Length = 2972.96 mm
 Cutting Length = 2973 mm
 Cutting Length = 2.973 m
Distribution Bar Cutting Length

Calculating the cutting length of distribution bars

Distribution Bar Cutting Length = clear span + 2 x Ld

 Distribution Bar Cutting Length = 5000 + (2 x 40 x 8 )

 Distribution Bar Cutting Length = 5640 mm
 Distribution Bar Cutting Length = 5.64 m
Step 3. Total Weight of Slab Steel :
Main Bars Steel Quantity Calculation

 The number of main bar required are 51 nos ( as per step 1)

 The length of one main bar = 2.973 m ( as per step 2)
Weight of Steel = Total Length of Steel x Length of 1 m Steel as per dia of steel
(D2/ 162)

 Total Length of the Main Bar = ( 51 X 2.973)

 Total Length of the Main Bar = 151.623m
 Weight of the Main Bar = Total Length x ( D2/ 162)
 Weight of the Main Bar = 151.623 x (122/162)
 Weight of the Main Bar = 134.776 kg
Distribution Bar Steel Quantity Calculation

The number of distribution bars required are 17 nos ( as per step 1)

The length of one distribution bar = 5.64 m ( as per step 2)

Total Length of the Distribution Bars = ( 17 X 5.64 )

 Total Length of the Distribution Bar = 95.88 m

 Weight of the Distribution Bar = Total Length x ( D2/ 162)
 Weight of the Distribution Bar = 95.88 x (102/162) = 37.87 kg
Total Weight of Steel

Total Quantity of Steel Required For Slab = Weight of the Main Bars +Weight of
the Distribution Bars

 Total Quantity of Steel Required For Slab = 134.776 kg + 37.87 kg

 Total Quantity of Steel Required For Slab = 172.646 kg
