Question

Accepted Answer

Stirrup calculation and material quantity in 1 cum of concrete.

Stirrup calculation involves determining the number, size, and spacing of stirrups required for a reinforced concrete element.
The quantity of materials in 1 cum of concrete depends on the mix design and the required strength of the concrete.
For example, for M20 grade concrete, the quantity of materials required for 1 cum of concrete is 0.28 cum of cement, 0.46 cum of sand, and 0.84 cum of coarse aggregates.
The quantity of steel required for stirrups can be calculated using the formula: Weight of steel = (Number of stirrups x Length of stirrup x Unit weight of steel).
