III. Problem Solving

1. Estimate the quantity of cement, sand, and gravel for the concrete slab on fill of the foundation plan shown
below, using 150mm thick Class C concrete mixture (40 kg/bag). The exterior walls and columns are 150mm
thick, and they should be excluded in computing the area of the concrete slab. The spaces occupied by the
interior columns may be neglected. Use a 10% allowance for wastage.

2. From the foundation plan and details of the footings and columns shown below, estimate the quantity of
cement and aggregates required for the continuous concrete footing of the CHB walls enclosing the building.
Class A concrete mixture is specified to be used (50kg/bag). Use a 10% allowance for wastage.
3. Shown below are the drawings of a stair to be constructed out of Class A concrete mixture (50kg/bag).
Estimate the quantity of cement and aggregates required. Use a 0.5% allowance for wastage. (The steel
reinforcing bars are not shown)

4. Estimate the quantity of cement, sand and gravel needed for the stairs and landings shown below, using
Class A concrete mixture (40kg/concrete). Use a 5% allowance for wastage.

5. Estimate the number of full-length bars required for the four (4) longitudinal reinforcements of the one-span
beam in Figure (a) and those of the continuous beam in Figure (b) based on these data:

Data for Estimates


Particulars One-span Beam Continuous Beam
No. of beams to be constructed 16 pieces 8 pieces
Overall length of each beam 5.35 meters 14.75 meters
No. and size of longitudinal 4 pieces Ø20mm 4 pieces Ø16mm
Length of bars to be ordered 6.00 meters 6.00 meters
