1 Cement-concrete ratio:

1:4

Calculation for the cutting length of

10,12,16,20 and so on iron bars for 45
15 digree and 90 digree bents.

for example if any steel take 1.0 meter cutting

length
density= weight / volume
density of steel is 7850kg/m3
volume of steel = areaXlength=3.14xD2/4*1.0
weight of steel for 1m is= density X volume
=
3.14D2x1000*7850/1000*1000*1000
=D2/162 (square of D/162)
where D is the dia of bar in mm
for 45degrres =cutting length-1 * dia of bar* no of
bends
for 90 degrees= cutting length-2 * dia of bar*no of
bends

The answer posted should some reference from

any of IS code.
It has to be justified.
As i refered code IS 2502 BS 4466 the deductions
followed are
0 for 45 bends
d<= 16 dia for 90 bends
2d>=20 dia for 90 bends
there is a formula for finding out the extra length
required for one bent. i.e. 0.42d where d is the
effective depth of the member.
To calculate the bending Deduction formula given
Below.
Bend Deduction = 1.25*Dia of Steel*No of Bend
15 What is the unit weight of concrete?.
Rcc -25kn/m or 2500kg/m
Pcc- 24 kn/m or 2400kg/m
2 how to calculate the weight of 6mm dia rod
Weight of reinforcement per meter

= area of bar*unit weight of steel

=22/7*1/4*(D)^2*(7850)/10^6
=0.0061678*(D)^2
= (1/0.0061678)*D^2
= D^2/162.13
(D*D)/162

Roughly calculated by the formula

Now,
weight (kg) = length * (d*d/162)
= metre * (kg/m)
= kg

4 Binding wire is required for one tone reinforcement

It should be 5 Kg to 6 Kg for one tone
reinforcement.
approximate 8kg, it is based upon thumb
rule.
Upto 16mm dia = 6.90/7.20kgs
20mm to 32mm = 8.00/8.30kgs

9 what is lap length? why it is required

In the construction of RC buildings, due to the

limitations in available length of bars and due to
constraints in construction, there are numerous
occasions when column bars have to be joined. A
simple way of achieving this is by overlapping the
two bars over at least a minimum specified
length, called lap length. The lap length depends
on types of reinforcement and concrete. For
ordinary situations, it is about 50 times bar
diameter. Further, IS:13920-1993 prescribes that
the lap length be provided ONLY in the middle half
of column and not near its top or bottom

Re: What is standard sand? What is coarse

& fine sand? What is foundation? What is
the seze of hooks in various Reinforced
section? What is the formula of providing
clear cover? What is the basic diff. between
working stress & Limit state design? What is
&cbc and fck? what are the primary &
10 secondary test of water purification?
Standard sand means which obtained from
nature, like river sand. According to IS code sand
which passes lower than 4.75mm
and above 600milimicron and fine sand which
passes 600 mili micro and retained 75 mili micron.
Foundation is the part of structure which transfer
load of the structure to the base of soil on which it
rests.
hooks- semicircular secn.-16d
90' bend- 8d
45' bend- 12d
Clear cover- column-40mm
BEAM - 25MM
SLAB - 15MM
FOOTING - 50MM
lIMIT STATE DESIGN- in this method design based
on limit state concept, the structure shall be
designed to with stand safety of all loads liable on
it throughout its life.
it also satisfy the serviciablity recquirments such
as limitation on deflection and cracking. the
acceptable limit for the safety and serviciable
recquirment before failure
occurs is called limit state.
working stress- when limit state design are not
acceptable working stress method is used. in this
method is based on
elastic theory.
cbc- compressive strength
fck- charterstics strength

11 i have a bar of 36 dia in column, what is the lap length?

14 difference between MS rod & TMT rod?

MS means Mild steel. that means plain rod .
mainly created by CST ( cold tiwsted)
TMT means Thermo mechanically treated. this
method used by now a days.

MS(Mild Steel) bars have low tensile strength

bars, and are generally preferred for lighter loads,
whereas TMT (Thermo Mechanically Treated ) bars
have high tensile strength and are preferred for
important structures with heavy loads
