This category contains mostly site construction estimation and basic calculations which are made at the site level.
These may not accurate but this will give you the basic ideas about estimation. Before implementing this estimation in practice make your own judgement.
Happy Learning :)
For a high rise building, we will receive approved drawings from architect office regarding water tank dimension.
But what if you need to calculate a water tank for a small residential.
In this post, we are going to see how to estimate rectangular water tank capacity & size?
Most of the structural buildings comprise 75% of brickwork (at least in Asian countries).
So it is essential to learn the brickwork calculation,
Before beginning the calculation, be familiar with the types of brick bonds that we covered in the previous post.
In this post, we are going to explain you, How to Calculate Cement, Sand Quantity for Plastering?
Please note, before using the calculator embedded in this post understand the plastering cement mortar calculation concept.
We have already discussed Nominal Mix of Concrete and Mix Proportions.
If you have missed that please go ahead and read that. We will wait for you.
It’s time for some calculations.
Do you think it’s that simple formula (D2 / 162.2) for steel weight calculation of a bar?
Nope…
It’s hard to find the exact weight of steel bars according to its area, it is advisable to refer the manufacturer’s chart to calculate the weight of the steel bar.
If you can’t find the details, then the below steel bar weight calculation formulas are useful for site level execution.
we have learned how to calculate tiles needed for a floor?
Go ahead and read that post in case if you missed it.
In this post, we are going to calculate total tile flooring cost estimation.
You may wonder, What should be the required size of Septic Tank for a domestic or commercial building? We already explained how to calculate the Water Tank Size.
In this post, we are going to see, how to calculate the size of Septic Tank?.
In this post, we are going to explain “How to make bar bending schedule for Column?”
This article will be quite long. Brace Yourself.
First of all, there are some criteria & assumptions that need to be met while making bar bending schedule for a column. Let’s get started.
Shape codes are the building stones of a perfect bar bending schedule.
When calculating the reinforcement detailing for different members for a building, taking account of small bent ups and other angle detailing will make the difference of effective and economic BBS.
Here we go.
In this post, we are going to explain “How to Calculate the Cutting length of Steel Reinforcement?” with reference calculation.
Note: For Better View, Please read this post in landscape mode if you are on the mobile device.
Let say you need to calculate the reinforcement for a circular slab of 2 Metre diameter with spacing 200 mm c/c and clear cover as 25 mm.
Unlike other RCC members, this one is different since the rod length will differ according to the diameter of the circle.
Normally, We calculate the tile flooring area in order to find the required number of the tiles for a given room. Assuming that situation, we have explained this post with an example.
Calculating the concrete volume of an isolated footing seems like hectic.
We have explained the process (with diagram) step by step using this simple trapezoidal footing formula. Also embedded an easy to use trapezoidal volume calculator.
Unlike other units of measurement, this one is a bit complicated.
For other types of civil works, we have some rules which are simple to follow. For painting, we have to calculate the surface area in coefficient method (IS 2015 – 1987)
Measurement is the single most important thing we should learn first at civil construction.
Especially If you are new to the field. Here is the list of measurements used for different types of works.
