 Lecture Outcome

– At the end of this session, student should be able to:

– Build-up unit rate for reinforcement bar works $$$$$?
 Introduction
– There are three type of steel reinforcement:
– Mild steel reinforcement bar (R)
– High tensile or high yield reinforcement bar (Y) / (T)
– Steel fabric reinforcement bar (BRC) / (BMC)
Material

– Reinforcement bar – Normally purchased in ton (1 ton =

1000kg)
– Tying wire – used to bind the main bar and calculated
based on the following table:
– Wastage – provision of 5% for wastage on reinforcement
bar should be included in the material cost
 Size of bar Weight of reinf. bar
(mm) (kg/m)

6 0.222
8 0.395
10 0.616
12 0.888
16 1.579
20 2.466
25 3.854
32 6.313
40 9.864
50 15.413
– Assume that 1 tonne of reinforcement require 6.00kg of tying wire
– Assuming wastage is 5% for the material of reinforcement

Example:
16mm diameter high tensile steel reinforcement in straight and
bent bars in foundation (kg)
– Data provided:
– 16mm dia. high tensile reinf. bar RM2300.00/ton
– Tying wire RM10.00/kg
– Barbender / Skilled labour RM80.00/day
– General labour RM50.00/day
– Labour for cutting and bending 20 hours/ton (see pg 7)
– Labour for fixing 25 hours/ton (see pg 8)
– Tying wire required 6kg/ton
Therefore, price for 1kg of 16mm Straight and Bend bar is RM3.37
EXERCISE – Q1
Based on following data, build up unit rate per kg of 20mm
diameter steel reinforcement bar (kg) in suspended beam
– 20mm dia high tensile rebar RM2700.00/ton
– Tying wire RM12.00/kg
– Barbender / Skilled labour RM80.00/day
– General labour RM50.00/day
– Labour for cutting and bending 20 hours/ton
– Labour for fixing 35 hours/ton
– Tying wire required 6kg/ton
EXERCISE – Q2
Based on following data, build up unit rate per kg of 25mm
diameter steel reinforcement bar (kg) in suspended upper floor
– 25mm dia. High tensile rebar RM3100.00/ton
– Tying wire RM12.00/kg
– Barbender / Skilled labour RM100.00/day
– General labour RM60.00/day
– Labour for cutting and bending 15 hours/ton
– Labour for fixing 23 hours/ton
– Tying wire required 3kg for ½ ton
EXERCISE – Q3
Based on following data, build up unit rate per kg of 10mm
diameter steel reinforcement bar (kg) in column stump
– 10mm dia. high tensile reinf. bar RM3800.00/ton
– Tying wire RM8.50/kg
– Barbender / Skilled labour RM12/hour
– General labour RM7/hour
– Labour for cutting and bending 30 hours/ton
– Labour for fixing 30 hours/ton
– Tying wire required 6kg for 1 ton
The Istana Negara (Malay for National Palace) is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the monarch of Malaysia. It is located

along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim (formerly Jalan Duta) in Segambut, northwestern Kuala Lumpur. The palace opened in 2011 and replaced

the old Istana Negara which was located at a different compound in central Kuala Lumpur.

The palace complex has an area of 97.65 hectares, 22 domes, and is split into three main portions: the Formal Component, Royal Component

and Administration Component.
