Indicative Steel Ratio

Introduction

Architectural design and plans are preliminary and the design is still undergoing further
development, an accurate and true structural steel reinforcement quantities will not be
available unless the whole design has been fully completed and working drawings for all
parts of the building is produced.
However, with the time limit given and as per your requested, we are presenting the
indicative structural rebar ratio of the typical bay to the Architectural Plan and information
we known at the time of preparation for your information as follows:

Pile Caps
Single Cap 120 kg/m3

Please note that the above steel ratio are based on a preliminary set of design data and
requirements only and only included for the reinforcement required for the design in
accordance to COP2004 Structural Use of Concrete, other reinforcements required for
fabrication or other purpose are not included in the estimate. All steel ratios can only be
verified and confirmed once the design is frozen and detailed design of the structure is
completed and they are subjected to vary from the actual case as the Architectural plans
are still under development.
