Prof Awad S. Hanna Slabs and Beams: One-Way slabs One-Way Slab, Beam, and Girder One-Way Slab, Supported by Beams or Walls One-Way Joist Slab

Prof Awad S. Hanna Slabs and Beams: Two-Way Slabs Flat Plate Two-Way Slab Supported by Beams Flat Slab Waffle Slab

Prof Awad S. Hanna Estimating Issues 1.Formwork is the largest cost item that represent 40% to 60% of concrete structure cost. Distribution of costs for cast-in-place concrete slab wall:

Prof Awad S. Hanna 2.Waste allowance from 2% to 10% should be added for concrete and concrete formwork.

Prof Awad S. Hanna EXAMPLE: How many pounds of rebar are required for the concrete floor area below? 6” Concrete slab with #4 rebar 15” on center each way 20’ 60’ 40’ 30’

Prof Awad S. Hanna Step #1: Calculate the total SF of area involved. 20'0" X 30'0" = 600 SF 30'0" X 40'0" = SF Total= 1,800 SF floor area Step #2: Calculate the pounds of rebar per SF of floor based on the unit spacing of the rebar at any point of intersection. Unit area: 15" X 15" = 1.25' X 1.25' = 1.56 SF Unit rebar length: 1.25' ' = 2.5 LF Lbs. of rebar/unit:= 2.5 LF X.668 lbs/ LF = 1.67 lbs  It is now known that there are lbs of rebar per 1.56 SQ FT of floor area / 1.56 = 1.07 lbs/SF of floor area. SO: 1.07 lbs/ SF X 1,800 SF = 1,926 lbs of #4 rebar required.
