1 Cement-concrete ratio: 1:4

Calculation for the cutting length of
10,12,16,20 and so on iron bars for
15 45 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
What is the unit weight of
15 concrete?.
Rcc -25kn/m³ or 2500kg/m³
Pcc- 24 kn/m³ 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
Roughly calculated by the formula (D*D)/162
Now,
weight (kg) = length * (d*d/162)
= metre * (kg/m)
= kg
Area of steel m2 0 ' =22/7*1/4*(D)^2
Length of steel m 1
volume of steel = areaXlength m3 0
density= weight / volume =
Density of steel is kg/m3 7850
weight of steel for 1m is= density X kg
volume 22.2

that rattio is nominal mix basis.above
M20,than mix design
is preford.basically M25 consider is
1:1:2
after M25 we have to control the
strength acoording to

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 &
secondary test of water
10 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?

as per indiaqn standards the bars above
32mm dia bars are to be welded not
lapped. its a twisting questions in
interviews

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
