Solve by Volume Method:

Solve by Linear Method:
Volume of Beam
Length of Beam
Volume = 5pcs. x .25 x .40 x 8m span
L: 5pcs. x 8m
V = 4 cu.m.
L= 40m
Class A Concrete (table 1-4) for BEAM
Volume of Girder
Cement: 40m x .900 = 36 bags
V =2pcs. x .40 x .60 x 16m span
Sand: 40m x .050 = 2 cu.m.
V = 7.68 cu.m.
Gravel: 40m x .100 = 4 cu.m.
Length of Girder
Total volume of beam and girder
L: 16m x 2pcs.
Total Volume = 4cu.m. + 7.68 cu.m.
L = 32 m
V = 11.68 cu.m.
Class A Concrete (table 1-4) for GIRDER
Cement: 32 x 2.160 = 69.12 bags
Using Cement class “A” Concrete (table 1-2):
Sand: 32 x .120 = 3.84 cu.m.
Cement: 11.68 x 9.0 = 105.12 bags
Gravel: 32 x .240 = 7.68 cu.m.
Sand: 11.68 x .50 = 5.84 cu.m.
Gravel: 11.68 x 1.0 = 11.68 cu.m.

Solve by Volume Method: Solve by Linear Method:

Area of Column
A = π r2 Length of Circular Column
A = (0.7854 x .602) = .283 sq.m. L = 6m

Volume of Column Class A Concrete (table 1-5) @40kg

V = .283 x 6m.ht. = 1.698 cu.m. Cement: 6m x 2.545 = 15.27 bags
Sand: 6m x .141 = 0.846 cu.m.
Class A Cement (table 1-2) @ 40kg Gravel: 6m x .282 = 1.692 cu.m.
Cement: 1.698 x 9.0 = 17.712 bags

Sand: 1.698 x .50 = 0.849 cu.m.

Gravel: 1.698 x 1.0 = 1.698 cu.m.
