This will be required while calculating the length of the bar.

I consider cover for very severe type exposure condition. So cover is 50 mm

So, remember 100 mm should be deducted from the total length of the span.

Now calculate the number of bottom mat bars required for 5500mm

span:

= ((Length of the span – Cover deduction) / Spacing) + 1

Now calculate the cutting length.

Cutting length = Length of the member – Deduction for bends.

(Length of the member = a+b+c in the image below.

&

Deduction for bends is twice the the diameter for one 90 degree bend)

So if there are two perpendicular bends like this,

Amount of steel :

2 Layers x 40 pcs x 4 m = 320 m

2 Layers x 20 pcs x 8m = 320 m

Total Amount of steel = 640 m

Amount of steel rod = 640/12 = 53.3333 = 54 rod

Amount of Heavy = 0.617 x 640 = 394.88 Kg

Conclution from Drawing :

1. Amount of steel at reinforcement vertical 8 pcs

2. Amount of steel at reinforcement Horizontal 8 pcs

3. Total 16 pcs

4. Amount of steel = 105 cm + 9 cm + 9 cm = 123 cm, 123 cm * 8 *2*2 = 3936


cm = 39.36 m (2 Layers, above and below)

5. if pieces of rod = 12m, its means 39.36/12 = 3.28 pcs = 4 pcs/footing

For calculate steel quantity for collum can use with slab method and
footing method.

COLUMN QUANTITY:

Let us consider there are 4 columns of size 230 x 350 mm and no of bars in each
column is 6 and bar diameter is 12 mm and stirrups spacing is 150 mm c/c.
Consider Length of column above ground level is 3 M and below ground is 2 M.

So cutting length of bar will be near about 6 M (Considering 1 M bar laps for
footing )

Weight of 12 mm bar is 0.89 kg/m,

So for 6 M height calculation for main steel will be= 0.89 kg x 6 m Height x 6 no
of bars = 32.04 kg steel …. (For 1 column)

For 4 no of columns, Total steel required will be 32.04 kg x 4 nos = 128.16 kg
