Efficient Steel Reinforcement Estimation Methods
In construction, accurate steel reinforcement calculation is crucial due to the cost and time involved. We'll explore two methods for estimating steel reinforcement in structures: the ratio method and the volume method. The ratio method offers a quick but slightly less precise approach, using standard ratios based on concrete volume. In contrast, the volume method demands more effort but provides pinpoint accuracy by calculating individual bar quantities from drawings. We'll take a closer look at both methods with a practical example, ensuring you're equipped to determine steel requirements efficiently and effectively. Whether you opt for speed or precision, these techniques will help you estimate material and labor costs with confidence.

No worries!

So say the horizontal isn't listed...look again.

Sorry I don't understand?

@@ConstructIQ Thanks for that vid. The accurate claculation is not right - you are missing the L- bars lapping between wall and slab, the U bars at the slab perimeter and the development lengt of the slab bar runing into the wall. Consider this and it will bring you much closer to the ratio methode claculation weight.
