How to calculate Rebar weight



Today we are going to talk about how to calculate the weight of reinforcement bar. Before calculating the weight of the bars, you need to know what the reinforcement bar is. Rebar are used for help concrete withstand tension forces. Concrete is sufficiently strong to compression forces by nature, but tension forces can crack it.

Let us derive the weight of the bar.

Since the formula to be derived is d2/162.162

 Assumed cross section is circular and the material is cylinder.

Weight density of steel = 7850 kg/m3.

Density = Weight/ Volume.



You can use the scientific calculator to find the correct figure. but usually we use d2/162  to calculate the weight.
