  • Flexural Reinforcement Calculator  As per Code ACI 318M

    I discussed the design of beam as a singly reinforced section in detail in my previous post “https://knowledgesharingplatform.com/design-of-reinforced-concrete-beam-as-per-aci-318m/”. I have also shared an excel sheet for adequacy check of singly reinforced beam cross-section in my post “https://knowledgesharingplatform.com/adequacy-check-for-singly-reinforced-concrete-beam/”. Here I will share a calculator, which calculate the flexural reinforcement requirement of a beam as per ACI…

  • Slab Reinforcement Calculator

  • Vertical Vessel Foundation Design Guidelines

    First, for a static equipment foundation, view its general arrangement drawings (GA drawings) and understand that equipment is supported on the concrete foundation, the elevated steel structure, or the steel skid. If it is not clear from the provided GA drawings, then ask the vendor to clarify. Here, we discuss the foundation design of static…

  • Septic Tank Depth Calculator

    A simple calculator determines the approximate size of the Septic tank as per the required capacity. Septic Tank Size Calculator Septic Tank Depth Calculator Number of Persons: Average Usage per Person per Day (in litres): Retention Time (in days): Length of Tank (in meters): Width of Tank (in meters):

  • Excavation Quantity Calculator for Square & Rectangular Footing

    I am introducing a calculator that provides excavation quantity in cum or cft. In this calculator, the excavation angle can change from 0 degrees to 75 degrees. 0 degrees means the excavation is exactly vertical and 75 degrees means, the excavation line makes 15 degrees from the horizontal plane i.e.ground. Use it and share your…

  • Calculate Steel Reinforcement Quantity in Kg & lb

    The calculator shared in this post efficiently computes the weight of reinforcement in both kilograms and pounds. Just type in how many bars you have and how long they are in meters, and it will do the rest for you. Bar diameter is mentioned in # and mm as per ACI standard sizes and selected…
