How to calculate concrete quantity for column,How to calculate concrete for column,in this topic we know about how to calculate concrete quantity for column. We know that column is load bearing structure, there is two type of load applied over it one is axial load second one is lateral load.
It is general question what will be the minimum size of your column it will be depend on several type of load applied on it. Column is main part of your building. In this topic we calculate concrete quantity for column
What is minimum size of RCC column
minimum size of RCC column will be not less than 9″×9″ or 225mm×225mm and we know that size of column is depend on several type of load.
Minimum size of RCC column using 4 steel bar of 12 mm size for first floor building is
9″×9″ or 225mm×225mm , but in our project minimum size of RCC column using 6 Steel bar of 12 mm size for first floor building is
9″×12″ or 225mm×300mm.
Types of column according to shape of column
column will be made in different shape it may be rectangular circular hexagonal. We have to calculate concrete quantity for various type of column
1) rectangular column
2) circular column
3) hexagonal column
how to calculate concrete for rectangular column
We should calculate volume of rectangular column that will be volume of concrete required, volume of rectangular column is
Volume = surface area × height of column
Given :-
Height of column = 3 meter
Surface area = 225 mm × 300 mm
We should convert millimetre into metre and divided by 1000 in to millimetre we will get
Surface area = 0.225m×0.3m=0.0675 m2
Volume of concrete = 0.0675 m2×3m
Volume of cocrete = 0.2025 m3
Hence 0.2025 m3 concrete quantity is required for one column having size 0.225m×0.3m×3m

concrete quantity calculation for circular column
We should calculate volume of circular column that will be volume of concrete required
Volume of circular column= π r2 h
Where π = 3.14
r = radius of circular column
h= height of circular column
Given :-
Radius of column = 0.2 m
Height of column = 3 meter
Volume = 3.14×(0.2)^2×3 m3
Volume = 3.14× 0.04×3 m3
Volume = 0.3768 m3
Hence 0.3768 m3 of concrete quantity is required for 1 circular column having size 0.2m radius and height is 3 m
