Maximum Steel Quantity Estimation for Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Quantity of Steel = 0.008*Number of Columns*Volume of Foundation*Density of Steel
Q_steel = 0.008*No_columns*V_foundation*ρ_steel
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Quantity of Steel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Maximum Quantity of Steel is the maximum mass of steel in kg that we will be requiring in the construction of a particular RCC component.
Number of Columns - Number of Columns defines the total number of RCC beams in the structure of a given specification.
Volume of Foundation - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of foundation is obtained by multiplying length of the footing X Width of the footing X Depth of the footing.
Density of Steel - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of steel is usually taken as 7860kg/m3 in civil domain. Though there exists steel of different densities Carbon steel's density is about 7.84 g/cm3,stainless steel's is about 8.03 g/cm3.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Columns: 12 --> No Conversion Required
Volume of Foundation: 1.92 Cubic Meter --> 1.92 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Density of Steel: 7860 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 7860 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_steel = 0.008*No_columns*V_foundation*ρ_steel --> 0.008*12*1.92*7860

Evaluating ... ...

Q_steel = 1448.7552

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1448.7552 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1448.7552 ≈ 1448.755 Kilogram <-- Maximum Quantity of Steel

What is the Maximum & Minimum Quantity of Steel required for Foundations?

As per the standard the minimum percentage of steel is considered as 0.7% of the volume of the concrete required and the maximum percentage of steel is 0.8% of the volume of the concrete required for making the foundation.

Important note.

Kindly take a note that here volume of foundation defines volume of 1 single foundation.
Or we can say ,
Volume of foundation =Length of the footing X Width of the footing X Depth of the footing
