Common Uses of Concrete • • • Foundations and footings Driveways and sidewalks Floors Retaining walls Piers Columns
Reinforcing Bar Concrete has high compression strength, yet poor tensile strength. Rebar is added to increase the tensile strength.
Reinforcing Bar Rebar is also used to pin one structural element to an adjacent element.
How Much Will the Concrete Cost? Concrete is sold by volume and measured in cubic yards (yd 3).
Estimating the Cost of a Pad size = 16 ft x 18 ft floor 4 in. thick • Convert all units to ft 16 ft, 18 ft, . 333 ft • Calculate volume (L x W x t) • Convert ft 3 to yd 3
Estimating the Cost of a Pad Concrete is typically sold in increments of ½ yd 3 $98/ yard 3 x 4. 0 yards 3 = $392
Estimating the Cost of the Pad • Placed every two feet (max. ) on a grid • Sold in 10 ft lengths • Must be lapped 6 in. to maintain strength • Maintain a 3 in. edge distance 6 in. lap 3 in. edge dist. Rebar
Estimating the Cost of the Pad 3 in. edge dist. Rebar How many 10 ft pieces of rebar are needed? 38 6 in. lap
Estimating the Cost of the Pad Rebar • Each piece of #4 rebar costs $4. 78. 38 x $4. 78 = $181. 64 Other associated costs include material forms, gravel, and labor.
Cost Estimate • A forecast of the cost of a future project • Prepared at different levels of a project – Conceptual Design – Construction Documents – Bid Phase • Includes – – Quantity take-off Material costs Labor rates and costs Equipment costs − Subcontractor quotes − Indirect costs − Profit margin • Completed with cost estimating software
Cost Estimator • Specialize in developing cost information for building projects • Most employed in construction industry • Most have gained experience through working in building construction industry • Employed by – – Owner Project manager Construction Contractor Design professional • May be discipline specific (electrical, structural, etc. )
