The Calculation for the Quantity of Material
Required for an R.C.C. Bridge Slab
The solution & Explanation of Numerical problems regarding the calculation
of the quantity of material of an R.C.C. bridge slab.
Some Technical terms to consider:
To convert the wet volume of R.C.C. to dry volume, multiply it by 1.54
Clear span is the width of the bridge slab on top of which vehicles can
move.
Bearing is the part of the slab that rests on the side supports. It is not a
part of the clear span.
Below is a 2D&3D demonstration of a bridge slab with bearing and clear
span.
, The total length of the slab is 6000mm. The clear span is 3000mm, while the
bearing is equal to the thickness of the slab which is 240mm.
