METHOD NO. 2 solution of Sample Problem B-1 using the appropriate data in Table B-1: ‘Area of concrete slab 8.70m x 7,70m = 66.99; say = 67.00 Sq. meters, Plus: 10% allowance forwastage | =_6,70Sq.meters Estimated total concrete area = 73.70 Sq. meters Multiplying 73.70 by the factors for 150mm thick Class C concrete in Table B-I: 73.70x0,824 = 60.72, say 61 Bags cement 73.70 x 0.066 = 4.86, say 5 Cubic meters sand 73.70x 0,134 = 9.87, say 10 Cubicmeters gravel 1D NO. 2 procedures using the data in Table B-2, B-3 and B-4 The data in Table 8-2, Table 8-3 and Table B-4 are used in estimating the concrete materials of fre, rectangular and circular members such as columns, beams, girders, etc. 1, Determine the cross-section shape and size of the concrete member, and if itis a. square, refer to Table B-2; or b. rectangular, see Table 6-3; or ©. circular, use Table B-4 ‘Assuming that the cross-section size of the member under consideration is among those included of the tables, the succeeding steps are: 2. Compute the total length of the concrete members in meters; then add 10% also as allowance for wastage as suggested earlier, 3. Determine the specified concrete mixture to be used: 4, Note the respective factors for cement, sand and gravel shown in the particular table for the size of the member under the specified concrete mixture; and then 5, Multiply the total length obtained in Step No. 2 by the respective factors for cement, sand and gravel - to get the estimated quantities required of these materials. ‘Sample problems that illustrate the application of the above procedures in estimating cement, Jand gravel in longitudinal concrete members follow the tabt B10
