Computation for Material Requirement — Some Examples
Example 1: Calculate dry material required for 1 m} cement concrete (CC) having density
of 2.3 ton’ with 1:3:6 ratio.
Solution:
Ratio: 1:3:6 (cement: sand: 20 mm aggregate)
Sum = 1+346=10
From Table 31.1 (lesson 31), dry matter required for 1.0 m3 CC mix is 1.54 m3

Cement requirement = 16 = 0.15 m* 216 kg (using Table 32.1 below)~
4.3 bags of 50 kg each
Sand requirement ~ = 0.46 m3 = 1.22 ton
Aggregates = = 0.92 m3 = 1.56 ton (20 mm aggregates)

Solution:
For 1.0 m? brick work, 500 bricks are needed (from Table 31.1 described in
lesson 31),
Cement; sand ratio = 1(cement):5(sand)

Some Example of Rate Analysis
Example 3: Determine unit cost for Gabion works
Solution:
The gabion work involves collection of stones (225 mm) and their arrangement in wire
mesh accordingly. The material requires are GI wire mesh and stones. Labours
(unskilled and semi-skilled) worker are required for netting the wire mesh. The unit
cost is computed as per the following analysis.

Example 5: Determine unit cost for RCC work
Solution:
RCC work includes steel reinforcement of cement concrete, The most adopted cement
concrete is of 1:2:4 mix of cement, sand and aggregates (volume basis). The density of
concrete depends on the nature of aggregates used. Most frequently, 20mm stone
ballast are used as aggregates. Reinforcement is done using stee! bars. In watershed
structures 12 mm steel bars are used. The unit cost can be computed as per the
following analysis of rates.
Dry mortar required for Im? cement conerete = 1.54 m?
‘Thus for 10 m? cement conerete, dry mortar volume will be 15.4 m
Cement requirement = 15.4/7 = 2.2 m* = 64 bags of SOkg each

Example 6: Determine unit cost for lass brick work with 1:6 cement mortar
Solution:
First estimate cost for 10 m° brick work in order to rationalize the labour requirement
and mortar mix.
Dry matter requirement for mortar in brick work = 0.3m? per m? of brickwork. Thus
3.0m? dry matter will be required for 10m? brick work,
Cement requirement = (1/7)*3 = 0.43 m? or 12.47 (say 13) bags of 50 kg each.
Sand requirement = (6/7)*3 = 2.58 m>
The unit cost can be computed as per the following analysis of rates.

Example 7:
Estimate the cost to construct CCT in hard soil in 20 ha area, The distance between
two row of CCT is kept as 25 m and width and depth of CCT is 50 em each.
Solution:
The construction of CCT involves excavation only and so only labour is
required with some T&P,

Example 8:
Gabion structures are proposed to stabilized 240 m long and 8 m wide gully. The average
slope of the gully bed is 10% and the vertical interval may be taken as 2 meter. The
proposed design is presented in Fig. 32.1. Estimate the project cost.

Side
Department of Agriculture in Gaya District, Bihar proposes to make CCT in a
catchment area of 40 hectares. The top soft soil stratum has a depth of 30 em followed
by hard soil for about 1 metre. The horizontal spacing between two su
CCT is 25 m. The width and depth of the C
construction of CCT
is 50 cm x 50 cm. Calculate the cost of
Solution:
Fig. 32.1 Proposed design of gabion
Solution: Since the vertical interval is 2 meter and 10% slope, means gabion should
bbe 20 m apart horizontally. Thus total number of gabion for the gully stabilization
would be 240/20 = 12. The average gully width is 8 meter and 1 meter wide side
wall is to be provided, the total width for earth work would be 8+2 =10m. The
estimate involves computation of material and abstract of cost.
