Excavation Quantity Calculator for Square & Rectangular Footing
The Excavation Quantity Calculator estimates the volume of earth needed for footings. It helps with project planning and resource management. To use the calculator, input the number of footings, their length, width, depth, and the excavation angle. The tool calculates the volume for each footing and provides the total excavation quantity. The calculator uses a…
Calculate Steel Reinforcement Quantity in Kg & lb
This web tool allows users to easily calculate the total weight of steel reinforcement required for a construction project. By inputting the number of bars, the diameter of the reinforcement, and the length of each bar, the tool will calculate the weight of each reinforcement type and provide the total weight in both kilograms and…

SWG Steel PlateThickness in mm and inch & their Weight/Area
In Steel Structural design we often see steel plate thickness in SWG gauge or BWG gauge. However, we need plate thickness in mm or inches for their weight calculation. Below is the table in which plate thickness in mm and inches corresponding to their SWG are shown. Moreover, Weight /Area in kg/m2 and lb/ft2 is…
Quantity Estimation Through Excel Sheet
In construction projects, precise estimation is crucial for successful execution. It facilitates procuring the right materials, managing resources efficiently, and preventing delays or cost overruns. Various methods are adopted for quantity estimation in the construction industries, each with advantages and limitations. These methods range from traditional manual estimation to software tools and advanced building modeling…
Design Of Reinforced Concrete Beam as per ACI 318m Code
Nowadays, structure analysis and design are performed by using software. In the software, we analyze and design the structure as a frame instead of a separate structural element (i.e. slab, beam, and column), and, get the most accurate result in the minimum time. However, to interpret the design result, a designer must have a complete…
Adequacy Check for Singly Reinforced Concrete Beam
Sometimes we need to check the existing structure strength, which is called an adequacy check. In the adequacy check, we checked that the existing structural element is capable against the applied loading. The applied load can be the same as the designed load or enhanced due to several reasons. This sheet is prepared for adequacy…
Designing Procedure of Slab through Moment Coefficient Method
This article briefly explains the structural design of slabs using the moment coefficient method. Before starting the design, the structure designer completes the following tasks: Here: Design Procedure of One-way Slab (Ly/Lx > 2) when Ly/Lx > 2, the slab is designed as a one-way slab. In one-way slabs, loads are distributed in the longer…

Properties of Coarse Aggregates and Fine Sand that Effects the Strength Of Concrete
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregates, cement, and water, therefore strength of concrete depends on the considered ratio and properties of all these ingredients. However, in this article,we will discuss the properties of coarse aggregates and fine sand, which affect concrete strength. PROPERTIES OF COARSE AGGREGATES Coarse aggregates are those granular particles which…
Basic Design of Isolated Footing
An individual footing that transfers loads from a single column/pedestal to the soil is known as “Isolated Footing”. Isolated Footing may be rectangular, square, or circular. Following are the steps involved in the design of “Isolated Footing”: Calculation of Applied Loads Calculate Loads acting on the footing. Which can be; Determination of Footing Area Determine…
