For RCC Beam & Column need 2-3% steel, say 2.5% steel.

So, for 10 cum RCC =10×2.5%=0.25 cum steel. =1962.5kgm. Steel. [I know 1 cum steel=7850
kgm]

For, 1 cum RCC =1962.5/10=196.25 kgm. Steel.

So, we are using 196.25 kg steel for 1 cum.RCC work in column & beam.

Steel quantity by thumb rule

How can we get the steel quantity by thumb rule ? I know that it is 1% for slab and 2-3% for RCC
column & beams. If I have 10 Cum RCC work for column & beam then how can we get the steel
quantity in kgm or Qntl.?

so first 10cum converted into CFT that is 353.10(10/0.02832)=353.10 Cft x 7 lbs/Cft =2471.70
then convert in to Kg so =1121.16 Kg is the answer.so in 10cum qty of concrete required 1121 kg
steel.

we use 2.5% of steel for column and beam.so for 10 cum of concrete = .025 x 10 =.25cum.
7850kg( vol of steel) x.25 =1962.5kgm

We have a formula for that i.e is D^2/162

Where D is Diameter of the steel bar

for example: I want 10m length ,one bar having 8mm dia bar weight

then calculcate by using formula 10*1*8^2/162=3.95kg/m

When steel quantity is 2.5% for R.C.C. beam and column, we know 1M3 steel=7850 kgs

For 10 m3 RCC work for column & beam then we can get the steel quantity is 1962.5 kgs.

For slab reinforcement: 600sq.ft. = 55.77sq.m

Therefore Volume = 55.77 x 0.10m = 5.58cu.m

Steel Quantity = 5.58 cu.m x 100 kg./cu.m = 558kg of diameter 10mm or 12mm.

It vary but it should always not be less than 100kg/m3, general practices range from 120-
125kg/m3 for slab, beams and for soil in pour, massive structures, columns and RC walls it
should be 150kg/m3. Remember those are minimum/threshold values, in practice one has to be
suspicious with RC details once he/she get values less than above and he/she may consult
designer for confirmation.

It can vary for person to person as its depends on the design of the particular structure which
taking account of other parameters , so this is just the thumb rule under normal circumstances,
as in some project the loading of steel in a roof is 100Kg even goes up to 120kgs

For slab 1%=10×1%=0.1

0.1×7850=785

785÷1000=0.785 quantl

For Column and Beam. 2.5%

10×2.5%=0.25

0.25×7850=1962.5

1962.5÷1000=1.96 quantl.
