Q.) Calculate the quantity of Concrete for a pier having dimension below.
Top Slab: Length = 4800 mm, Width = 2000 mm, Depth = 500 mm
Tapering Section: Top Width = 4800 mm, Bottom Width = 800 mm, Height = 1000 mm
Pier Column: Diameter = 800 mm, Height = 2000 mm
Mix Ratio: Cement = 1, Sand = 2, Aggregate = 4
Wet-to-Dry Multiplier: 1.54
Solution,
Fore Top Slab:
Length = 4800 mm × 0.001 = 4.8 m,
Width = 2000 mm × 0.001 = 2 m,
De
pth = 500 mm × 0.001 = 0.5 mFor Tapering Section:
Top Width = 4800 mm × 0.001 = 4.8 m,
Bottom Width = 800 mm × 0.001 = 0.8 m,
Height = 1000 mm × 0.001 = 1 m
Diameter = 800 mm × 0.001 = 0.8 m,
Height = 2000 mm × 0.001 = 2 m
For Base Slab:
Length = 1800 mm × 0.001 = 1.8 m,
Wi
dth = 1800 mm × 0.001 = 1.8 m,Depth = 600 mm × 0.001 = 0.6 m
Step 2: Calculate Volume of each components
a. Volume of Top Slab
V1 = Length × Width × Depth
V1
= 4.8 × 2 × 0.5 = 4.8 m³b. Volume of Tapering Section Volume:
V2 = (1/2) × (Top Width + Bottom Width) × Height
[Volume2 = Area of Trapezoidal x Height]
V2= (1/2) × (4.8 + 0.8) × 1 = 2.8 m³
V3 = π × (Diameter/2)^2 × Height
V3 = 3.1416 × (0.8/2)^2 × 2 = 1.005 m³
4. Base Slab Volume:
V4 = Length × Width × Depth
V4
= 1.8 × 1.8 × 0.6 = 1.944 m³Step 3: Compute total wet volume.
Hence, Total Wet Volume of concrete = Top Slab Volume + Tapering Section Volume + Pier Column Volume + Base Slab Volume
i.e Total Wet Volume = V1+V2+V3+V4
= 4.8 + 2.8 + 1.005 + 1.944 = 10.549 m³
Total Dry Volume = Wet Volume × Wet-to-Dry volume factor
[We have to take 52% to 54% of wet volume more to convert into dry volume]
Hence, Total Dry Volume = 10.549 × 1.54 = 16.244 m³
Step 5: Calculate volume of all materials based on mix ratio.
Cement Volume = (1/7) × 16.244 = 2.321 m³
Sand Volume = (2/7) × 16.244 = 4.641 m³
Aggregate Volume = (4/7) × 16.244 = 9.282 m³
Hence, In this way we can calculate the volume of each components of pier with total wet and dry volume of concrete required.
