Now, let’s calculate the weight of a single sheet of this roofing material with dimensions 0.40 meters by 0.915
meters:
1. Calculate the area of the sheet:
o Area = Length × Width
o Area = 0.40 m × 0.915 m = 0.366 m²
2. Determine the weight based on the nominal thickness:
o Assuming the nominal thickness is 0.40 mm (which is equivalent to 0.0004 meters):
o Weight = Area × Thickness × Density
o Density of the material is not provided, but for reference, the density of steel is approximately 7850
kg/m³.

Let’s calculate the weight using the density of steel:

o Weight = 0.366 m² × 0.0004 m × 7850 kg/m³


o Weight ≈ 1.44 kg (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, a single sheet of this Curva type color roofing with dimensions 0.40 meters by 0.915 meters weighs
approximately 1.44 kilograms 12.

ertainly! Let’s calculate the weight of a 12mm diameter plain sagrod along with the associated nuts and bolts.
1. Sagrod (12mm Diameter Plain):
o The weight of a 12mm diameter plain sagrod depends on its length. Unfortunately, the specific
length is not provided. However, I can provide you with the weight per meter based on standard
density.
o The density of mild steel (commonly used for fasteners) is approximately 7850 kg/m³ 1.
o To calculate the weight, we’ll use the formula: [ \text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \
text{Density} ]
o The volume of a cylindrical rod (sagrod) is given by: [ \text{Volume} = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\
right)^2 \times L ] where:
 (d) is the diameter (12mm = 0.012m)
 (L) is the length (unknown in this case)
2. Nuts and Bolts:
o The weight of nuts and bolts depends on their size and material.
o Let’s assume we’re using standard hex-head bolts and nuts made of mild steel.
o Here are some approximate weights for common bolt sizes (per 1000 pieces) 1:
 Bolt M6x12: Approximately 5.12 kg
 Bolt M8x12: Approximately 10.12 kg
 Bolt M6x14: Approximately 5.52 kg
 Bolt M8x14: Approximately 10.85 kg
 Bolt M12x14: Approximately 27.89 kg
3. Total Weight:
o To find the total weight, we need the length of the sagrod. If you provide the length, I can calculate
the combined weight of the sagrod, nuts, and bolts.

Remember that these weights are approximate and can vary based on specific material properties and
manufacturing tolerances. If you have the exact length of the sagrod, please share it, and I’ll provide a more
accurate

he weight of a C-purlin with dimensions 2 inches by 6 inches by 1.50 mm can be calculated using the following
steps:
1. Material Specification: First, let’s understand the specifications. The numbers represent:
o 1.50 mm: The thickness of the metal.
o 2 inches (base width) by 6 inches (height): The dimensions of the C-purlin.
o 6 meters: The length of the purlin.
2. Weight Calculation:
o To find the weight, we’ll use the formula: [ \text{Weight (kg/m)} = \text{Area} \times \text{Metal
Density} ]
o The area of the C-purlin can be calculated as: [ \text{Area} = \text{Base Width} \times \
text{Height} ]
o The metal density depends on the material (usually steel or galvanized steel).
3. Specific Weight for 1.50 mm C-Purlin (2" x 6"):
o Let’s assume the material is galvanized steel.
o Using the given dimensions:
 Base Width = 2 inches = 0.0508 meters
 Height = 6 inches = 0.1524 meters
 Thickness = 1.50 mm = 0.0015 meters
o Calculate the area: [ \text{Area} = 0.0508 \times 0.1524 = 0.00775 , \text{m}^2 ]
o Metal density for galvanized steel (approximately): (7850 , \text{kg/m}^3)
o Calculate the weight: [ \text{Weight} = 0.00775 \times 7850 = 60.74 , \text{kg/m} ]

Therefore, the weight of a galvanized C-purlin with dimensions 2 inches by 6 inches by 1.50 mm is
approximately 60.74 kg per meter12. Keep in mind that actual weights may vary based on specific manufacturer
specifications and material variations. If you’re purchasing C-purlins, it’s essential to consult with suppliers to get
accurate and up-to-date information for your project.

he weight of a 2L 3" by 3" by 6m angle bar (topchord) can be calculated using the following steps:
1. Dimensions:
o The angle bar has equal sides, each measuring 3 inches by 3 inches.
o The length of the angle bar is 6 meters.
2. Weight Calculation:
o First, let’s convert the length from meters to millimeters: (6 , \text{m} = 6000 , \text{mm}).
o Next, we’ll calculate the cross-sectional area of the angle bar: [ \text{Area} = \text{Side Width} \
times \text{Side Width} = 3 , \text{in} \times 25.4 , \text{mm/in} = 76.2 , \text{mm} ]
o The volume of the angle bar is given by: [ \text{Volume} = \text{Area} \times \text{Length} = 76.2
, \text{mm} \times 6000 , \text{mm} = 457200 , \text{mm}^3 ]
o To find the weight, we need to multiply the volume by the density of the material. Let’s assume the
material is mild steel with a density of 7850 kg/m³: [ \text{Weight} = \frac{\text{Volume}}
{1000000} \times \text{Density} = \frac{457200}{1000000} \times 7850 = 3599.7 , \text{kg} ]

Therefore, the weight of the 2L 3" by 3" by 6m angle bar using the NSCP 2015 is approximately 3599.7
kilograms1.
The weight of a 2L 3" by 3" by 6m angle bar (bottom chord) can be calculated using the National Structural
Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015. Let’s break it down step by step:
1. Dimensions of the Angle Bar:
o Width (A): 3 inches
o Height (B): 3 inches
o Length: 6 meters (which is equivalent to 6000 millimeters)
2. Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area:
o The cross-sectional area of the angle bar can be found by multiplying the width and height: [ \
text{Area} = A \times B ]

Substituting the given dimensions: [ \text{Area} = 3 , \text{in} \times 3 , \text{in} = 9 , \text{in}^2 ]


3. Density of Steel:
o The density of steel varies, but for general calculations, we can use an approximate value of 7850
kg/m³.
4. Calculate the Volume:
o The volume of the angle bar can be determined by multiplying the cross-sectional area by the
length: [ \text{Volume} = \text{Area} \times \text{Length} ]

Substituting the values: [ \text{Volume} = 9 , \text{in}^2 \times 6000 , \text{mm} = 54000 , \text{mm}^3 ]
5. Convert Volume to Weight:
o To find the weight, we need to convert the volume from cubic millimeters to kilograms: [ \
text{Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Volume (mm}^3\text{)}}{1000000} \times \text{Density
(kg/m}^3\text{)} ]

Substituting the values: [ \text{Weight (kg)} = \frac{54000}{1000000} \times 7850 = 424.35 , \text{kg} ]
Therefore, the weight of the 2L 3" by 3" by 6m angle bar (bottom chord) using NSCP 2015 is
approximately 424.35 kilograms1.
