How to use

  1. Fill in: Concrete volume (m³), Member type and Steel % of volume (editable). Fields with defaults or marked optional can stay as shown.
  2. Tap Estimate Steel.
  3. Read the result - you can print or save it as PDF.

Worked example

With Concrete volume = 10, Member type = Column (~2.5%), Steel % of volume = 2.5:

INDICATIVE STEEL WEIGHT1,963 kg
  • Steel at 2.5% of volume: 1,963 kg
  • In tonnes: 1.96 t
  • Concrete volume: 10 m³
  • At 12 mm bars, 12 m each: 184 bars
Rule-of-thumb only: steel % of concrete volume × 7,850 kg/m³. Actual reinforcement comes from structural design - consult a qualified engineer.
