Length: Unit of length meter/feet: Meter Feet Rod diameter(mm):

Steel Rod Calculation for Construction: Length and Diameter of the Rod: The diameter of the rod is usually measured in millimeters (mm) or inches. Common diameters are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, etc. Standard rods are typically 12 meters long. Formula to Calculate Weight of a Rod: The weight of a steel rod is calculated using the formula: 𝑊 𝑒 𝑖 𝑔 ℎ 𝑡 ( 𝑘 𝑔 ) = 𝐷 2 × 𝐿 162 Weight(kg)= 162 D 2 ×L ​ Where: 𝐷 D = diameter of the rod (in mm), 𝐿 L = length of the rod (in meters). Calculating Total Steel Quantity: The quantity of steel is determined based on the structural drawing and design, which specifies the length and quantity of each rod. You sum up the total length and quantity to calculate the overall weight of steel needed. Different Calculation for Slabs, Beams, Columns, and Foundations: For Slabs: Typically, a certain amount of steel is required per square meter, such as 8-12 kg per square meter. For Beams and Columns: The number and diameter of rods depend on the structural design. Footage Calculation: To find the total footage or length, divide the total weight or length of steel by the desired measurement (if needed).
