Reinforcement work

Factors to be considered: materials, wastage and storage. Various sizes. Need to store properly rusty Labour constant unload (carry),cut and bend and assemble into the formwork

example1
Calculate the cost of steel reinforcement bar Y 12 in a concrete beam.
Solutions: Materials: Cost of 1 tonne steel reinforcement Weight of 1 m length Y12 = RM2,100 = 0.994 kg

Labour: Labour cost for steel fixer No. of labour To calculate cost of materials Cost of 1 kg steel Add 5% wastage Cost of tie (0.5kg/100 kg steel @RM2.50/kg)

RM40/day 1 labourer

RM2.10/kg RM 0.11 RM 0.02 RM 2.23

To calculate labour constant

Cost of steel fixer (assume 1 labourer)

Labour constant for unloading, cut and bend Labour constant for fixing
Wages per day Time to unload, cut and bend (1 kg)

=0.25 hrs/kg =0.1hr/kg

RM 40/day =RM5.00/hr 0.25 hr

Then cost to carry, cut and bend

=RM5.00 x 0.25 hr = RM 1.25

Time for fixing (1 kg) cost for fixing ( 1 kg)

= 0.1 hr = RM5.00 x 0.1 hr = RM 0.50

Rate for 1 kg of steel

RM2.23 +RM 1.25 + RM0.50 =RM 3.98 + 10% profit = RM4.38

Exercise 2
Calculate the cost 1 kg of Y12 Cost steel per tonne = RM2300 Weight Y12 for 1 m = 0.995kg Wages per day RM45.00 Profit 20% If the steel 40m long= ????

Exercise 3
Calculate the cost of 1 kg R6 links in a concrete column.Numbers of links are 9 and the length for each is 0.89m.
Cost 1 tonne of R6 Labour cost Lab. Cons to unload, cut and bend Lab. Cons to fix Wastage Profit Weight 1 m R6 RM1600 RM40/day 0.25 hrs/kg 0.1hr/kg 5% 10% 0.222kg

To calculate the cost of materials

Weight of links = 0.222kg x 0.89m x 9 =1.79 kg

Cost of 1 kg R6 Add wastage 5%

= 1.79 x RM 1.60 =RM2.85 =RM0.14 =RM2.99

To calculate labour cost

Lab. Cons to unload, cut and bend Wages per hr Total cost RM 5 x 0.25 hr/kg x 1.79 kg 0.25hr/kg RM5.00 RM2.24

Labour constant to fix Cost for fixing

= 0.1 hr/kg = 0.1 x RM5 x 1.79 = RM 0.90

Cost of material + labour RM2.99 + RM2.24 + RM0.90 =RM6.13 Cost + 10% profit = RM6.75

Exercise 4
Calculate the cost of 1 kg reinforcement Y10 Details: Wt of 1 ton of reinf bar = 1016kg Cost of 1 ton Y10 =RM1200 Wastage 2% Tie wire 0.5kg every 100kg of reinf. Bar cost of tie wire RM2.50/kg steel fixer to unload, cut and bend and fix 100kg of reinforment bar requires 12 hours Steel fixers wage per day RM 35 Profit 20%

To calculate the cost of materials

1 ton of reinf (1016kg) 100 kg = 1200/1016 x 100 wastage 2 % RM1200 RM118.11 RM2.95

Tie wire 0.5kg for every 100kg reinf@RM2.50/kg 100 kg reinf use 0.5kg x RM2.50 RM1.25 Total RM122.31

To calculate the cost of labour

1 steel fixer need 12 hrs to unload, cut , bend and fix

Cost of labourer = RM35/8 x 12 hrs

Total cost: materials + labour

= RM52.50

+ 20% profit rate for 100 kg 1 kg

=RM 122.31 + RM52.50 = RM 174.81 = 34.96 =RM209.77 =RM2.10

formwork
To support the concrete Selection of formwork depend on quality,safety and economy. Must strong enough to support the wet concrete. Can reuse for several times Labour constant for making, fixing and stripping (eg: 1.5hr/m2)

Cost of materials
Plywood Strut (to support the formwork) Nails and shutter oil to formwork labour Constant
- fixing and stripping - multiply by wage per hour

Example 1
To calculate the cost of 1 m2 of formwork: Details: -25mm thick plywood (2.44 m x 1.22m)@ RM 40/pc -Can be reuse for 5 times -Cost of nails and oil to formwork RM2.00/time -1m2 formwork need 0.07m3 strut @260/m3 -1 labourer to fix and stripping 1m2 for 2 hrs - wage per day RM40 -wastage 10% - profit 10 %

To calculate the cost of materials

1 m2 of plywood RM40/(2.44 x 1.22) 0.07m2 struts RM260 x 0.07 use 5 times 1 time Wastage 10% RM6.33 x 10 % Cost of nails and shutter oil total cost =RM 13.44 =RM 18.20 RM 31.64 RM 6.33 RM 0.63 RM 2.00 RM 8.96

To calculate labour cost

Labour wage RM40/8 Time to fix and strip 1 m2 formwork Workman cost RM5/hr x 2 hrs RM5/hr 2 hrs RM10

Toatal cost : material + labour = RM 8.96 + RM 10.00 = RM18.96 Profit (10%) RM 1.90 cost for 1 m2 = RM 20.86

Exercise 1
Calculate cost of 1 m2 of formwork: -Plywood (2.44m x 1.22 m) @ RM35.00 /pc -1m2 formwork need 0.06m3 strut @250/m3
- Reuse for 5 times - Cost of nail and oil RM1.00/time - 1 carpenter needs 1 hrs to fix and strip 1 m2 of formwork - Carpenters wage RM35/day - Working hrs 8 hrs/day - Wastage 10% - Profit 20%

solutions
Materials plywood
1 m2 = RM35/(2.44 x 1.22) Strut 0.06 x RM 250.00 Cost for 5 times for 1 time wastage 10% cost of nail + oil cost of materials RM11.78 RM15.00 RM26.78 RM 5.36 RM 0.54 RM1.00 RM 6.90

Labour
1 hrs to fix and strip 1 m2 form wage per day RM35.00 Payment to carpenter 1 x (35/8) =RM6.56

Material + labour = RM6.90 + RM6.56 =RM13.46 = RM2.69 = RM16.15

+ 20% profit
