Desired size and quantity of reinforcement for building project

Reinforcement plays a crucial role for reinforced concrete members like footings, beams, columns, slabs, lintels etc. Calculation of reinforcement quantity should be started before tendering phase to work out estimated cost of project or construction work.

Go through the following table to obtain the estimated quantities of reinforcement and its size which are very essential for different building projects:

All the steel described above are round tapered steel. This data will be applied for measuring the quantity of steel for different RCC works. There is no information for the necessity of actual steel for all the members. Requirement of actual quantity of steel will be estimated from the drawings which are arranged once the structural design is completed.

Sl. No	RCC Member	Quantity in kg/m3	Size of reinforcement required
1	Column footings	75	10mm or 12mm
2	Grade beams	100	12mm, 16mm ? 85% Stirrups ? 6mm or 8mm? 15%
3	Plinth beams	125	8mm diameter ? 85%, Stirrups 6mm ? 15%
4	Columns	225	16mm, 20mm and 25mm ? 90% Ties ? 6mm or 8mm ? 10%

Sl. No	RCC Member	Quantity in kg/m3	Size of reinforcement required
5	Lintel beam	125	12mm, 16mm dia ? 85% Stirrups ? 6 mm or 8mm ? 15%
6	Sunshades	60	8mm dia ? 75% Distributer ? 6mm ? 25%
7	Canopy slab upto 2.0 m span	125	10mm dia ? 80% Distributor bars ? 6mm or 8mm ? 20%
8	Staircase waist slab	150	12 or 16mm dia ? 80% Distributor 8mm dia ? 15%
