HOW MANY ROD REQUIRE FOR 1000 SFT AND 5″ THICK SLAB CASTING.


How many Rod require for 1000 sft and 5″ thick Slab Casting?

Answer:
Total Concrete’s 1% or 1.5% or 2% of Rod should consider in slab casting.
We may consider here 1.5%
Formula is
{(Area x Thickness) } X {(1.5%) X Unit weight of Rod}
So,
[{(1000) X (5/12)}] X {(1.5/100) X 222}
[ note:Unit weight of Rod is 222kg/cft]
=(416.66) X (3.33)
=1387.48kg
