Estimation of Building materials

Problem 1.  Determine the number of bags of cement required to cast two 30ft long span beam, if the beam section is 12'* 18' and mix ratio 1:1.5:3?



 Solution: 
Total RCC work = (12/12) * (18/12) *30*2
                           = 90ft3

Dry volume = (1.5*90)ft3
                        = 135ft3         
 Sum of proportion = 1+1.5+3=5.5
Amount of cement required = (1/5.5 )*135
                                             = 24.54 ft3 
                                                      
                                                      =(24.54/1.25) bag cement
                                             = 19.63 bag cement
                                             ≂ 20 bag cement

Answer : 20 bag cement 

 

Problem 2: Find out required number of bricks for work volume 75ft3


Solution: Volume of brick work =75cm3
                                                    = {75/(12x12x12) }
                                                    = 0.0434
                                                    = 0.0434x12 Nos Brick
                                                    = 0.52 Nos Brick
                                                    ≂ 1 Nos brick

Answer: 1 Nos Brick


Problem 3: A hollow steel pipe which inside dia 10 mm, wall thickness 2 mm and length of pipe is 15 mm. Determine the weight of steel pipe in Kg, if unit weight of steel pipe is 7850 Kg/m3


Solution: Volume of steel = π/4 [ (14/100)2 -(10/1000)2] x (15/100)
                                           = 1.131 x 10-6  m3

Weight of steel pipe = 1.131 x 10-6  m3 x 7850 Kg/m3
                                        = 0.0089Kg
Answer: 0.0089Kg 

 

Problem 4: Determine the number of brick required of a 500 m3 masonry wall?


Solution: 
For 1 m3 brick work  required brick =420 Nos
For 500 m3 brick work  required brick =(420x500) Nos
                                                              = 210000 Nos
Answer:  210000 Nos
