Quantity Survey & Estimation: Engr. Shad Muhammad

This document contains notes from Lecture 6 of a Quantity Survey & Estimation course. It includes two examples: 1) an estimate of a reinforced concrete retaining wall and 2) an estimate of a reinforced concrete column and its foundation. For the first example, the retaining wall dimensions are given and students are asked to calculate estimates including rebar quantities. For the second example, students are to estimate rebar quantities for a column using the provided drawings, including its footing with a specified clear cover. The lecture also discusses developing software programs for quantity surveying using graphical user interfaces in common languages like Visual Basic, MATLAB, and Excel.

R.C.C Retaining Walls

Retaining wall are generally used to retain earth or other materials to maintain unequal levels
on two faces.The material on the back face is called backfill.

Retaining wall can be constructed with masonry as well as R.C.C.

 In case of masonry retaining wall, the thickness of wall increases with height because

masonry resists the lateral pressure by its weight. Thus, it is also called Gravity Retaining
Wall.

 While, the reinforced concrete retaining wall resists the lateral pressure by structural

action such as bending and results in thinner section.
