1) MILD STEEL (MS) SHEET WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) * WIDTH (MM) * 0. 00000785 * THICKNESS example – The weight of MS Sheet of 1mm thickness and size 1250 MM * 2500 MM shall be 2500MM * 1250 MM * 0.00000785 * 1 = 24.53 KGS/ SHEET ————————————————— ROLLED STEEL CHANNELS ROLLED STEEL CHANNELS MS SQUARE WEIGHT (KGS ) = WIDTH * WIDTH * 0.00000785 * LENGTH. Example : A Square of size 25mm and length 1 metre then the weight shall be. 25 * 25 * .00000785 * 1000mm = 4.90 kgs / metre

MS ROUND WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 * 0.00000785 * ((diameter / 2)*( diameter / 2)) * LENGTH. Example : A Round of 20mm diameter and length 1 metre then the weight shall be. 3.14 * 0.00000785 * ((20/2) * ( 20/2)) * 1000 mm = 2.46 kgs / metre SS ROUND DIA (mm) * DIA (mm) * 0.00623 = WEIGHT PER METRE SS / MS Pipe OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) * W.Thick (mm) * 0.0248 = Weight Per Metre OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) * W.Thick (mm) * 0.00756 = Weight Per Foot

SS / MS CIRCLE DIA(mm) * DIA (mm) * THICK(mm) * 0.0000063 = Kg Per Piece

SS sheet Length (Mtr) * Width (Mtr) * Thick(mm) * 8 = Weight Per Piece Length (ft) * Width (ft) * Thick(inch) * 3 /4 = Weight Per Piece

S.S HEXAGONAL BAR DIA (mm) * DIA (mm) * 0.00680 = WT. PER Mtr Dia (mm) * Dia (mm) * 0.002072 = Wt. Per foot.

BRASS SHEET WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) * BREADTH (MM) * 0. 0000085 * THICKNESS EXAMPLE = THE WEIGHT OF BRASS SHEET OF THICKNESS 1 MM , LENGTH 1220 MM AND BREADTH 355 MM SHALL BE 1220 * 355 * 0.0000085 * 1 = 3.68 Kgs / Sheet

COPPER SHEET WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) * BREADTH (MM) * 0. 0000087 * THICKNESS EXAMPLE = THE WEIGHT OF BRASS SHEET OF THICKNESS 1 MM , LENGTH 1220 MM AND BREADTH 355 MM SHALL BE 1220 * 355 * 0.0000087 * 1 = 3.76 Kgs / Sheet BRASS / COPPER PIPE OD (mm) – THICK (mm) * THICK(mm) * 0.0260 = WEIGHT PER METRE

ALUMINIUM SHEET WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) * BREADTH (MM) * 0. 00000026 * THICKNESS EXAMPLE = THE WEIGHT OF ALUMINIUM SHEET OF THICKNESS 1 MM , LENGTH 2500 MM AND BREADTH 1250 MM SHALL BE 2500 * 1250 * 0.0000026 * 1 = 8.12 Kgs / Sheet

ALUMINIUM PIPE OD (mm) – THICK(mm) * THICK(mm) *0.0083 = WEIGHT PER METRE

Measurement Units

Civil engineers throughout the world accept both the United States Customary System (USCS) and the System International (SI) units of measure for both applied and theoretical calculations. However, the SI units are much more widely used than those of the USCS. Hence, both the USCS and the SI units are presented for essentially every formula in this website.

To permit even wider use of this text, this website contains the conversion factors needed to switch from one system to the other.

Ready-mix concrete

Image
Ready-mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted transit mixers . This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. The first ready-mix factory was built in the 1930s, but the industry did not begin to expand significantly until the 1960s, and it has continued to grow since then. Ready-mix concrete is sometimes preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion. However, using a pre-determined concrete mixture reduces flexibility, both in the supply chain and in the actual components of the concrete. The leading ready-mix concrete supplier worldwide is the Mexican concrete company Cemex ; its main competitor is France -based Lafarge Ready Mixed Concrete is also referred as the customized concrete products for commercial purpo

Structural engineering

Image
Structural engineering is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right.[1] Structural engineers are most commonly involved in the design of buildings and large nonbuilding structures[2] but they can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, vehicles or any item where structural integrity affects the item's function or safety. Structural engineers must ensure their designs satisfy given design criteria, predicated on safety (e.g. structures must not collapse without due warning) or serviceability and performance (e.g. building sway must not cause discomfort to the occupants). Structural engineering theory is based upon physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different landscapes and materials. Structural engineering design utilises a relatively sma
