The weight of 25mm reinforcement steel per meter is calculated using its density and cross-sectional area.
The formula to calculate the weight of steel is: Weight (kg) = Volume (m³) × Density (kg/m³).
For steel, the density is approximately 7850 kg/m³.
The cross-sectional area of a 25mm diameter bar is calculated using the formula: Area = π × (d/2)².
For a 25mm bar, Area = π × (25/2)² ≈ 490.87 mm² or 0.00049087 m².

Concrete quantity measurement involves calculating volume based on dimensions and mix design.
Determine the dimensions of the area to be concreted (length, width, depth).
Use the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Depth.
For example, for a slab 10m long, 5m wide, and 0.1m deep, Volume = 10 × 5 × 0.1 = 5m³.
Consider the mix design to determine the weight of concrete needed per cubic meter.

Powder factor is the amount of explosive required to break a unit volume of rock in blasting operations.
Powder factor is calculated by dividing the total amount of explosive used by the volume of rock being blasted.
The formula for powder factor is: Powder Factor = Total mass of explosives / Volume of rock being blasted.
Powder factor is typically measured in units of kg/m3 or lb/yd3.
A higher powder factor indicates...
Phase voltage for 220kV is approximately 127kV.
Phase voltage is the voltage between any one phase and the neutral point in a three-phase system.
For a 220kV system, the phase voltage can be calculated using the formula: Phase Voltage = Line Voltage / √3.
In this case, Line Voltage = 220kV, so Phase Voltage ≈ 220kV / √3 ≈ 127kV.
The type of gas in the tunnel on site needs to be identified for safety purposes.
