Rate Analysis of Reinforcement Cement Concrete (RCC): Detailed Calculation and Estimation Guide

Rate Analysis of RCC (Reinforcement Cement Concrete)

Rate analysis of RCC (Reinforcement Cement Concrete) used for reference book IS Code 1200 part 2 (IS Code 1200 part 2 used for measurement), IS Code 2212, and CPWD Part 1.

All calculations of Reinforcement Cement Concrete for rate analysis. This calculation calculates of cement, sand, Aggregate, and Reinforcement (RCC = Cement + Sand + Aggregate + Reinforcement mixture this call RCC) for materials.

RCC is used a sum different proportions 1:0.5:1, 1:1:2, 1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, 1:3:6 etc.(1 cement: 1.5 Sand: 3 Aggregate). This quantity estimation of RCC is required for the rate analysis.

In this Rate Analysis of RCC calculation of material, labor, wastage, and other charges in rate analysis.

Material Calculation in Rate Analysis like Cement, Sand, Aggregate, and Reinforcement

Cement Calculation

Dry Cement volume = 1.25 convert Wet cement.(The concrete mortar dry volume of concrete decrease volume of dry cement mortar, so 1.25 time of dry mortar)

Wastage of cement mortar 30 % (1.25) extra

So, Cement calculation requirement of cement = 1 x 1.25 x 1.30 = 1.625 cu.m,

Herer calculation concrete ratio 1:1.5:3

The required amount of Cement quantity at concrete = 1.625 Cu.m. x (1/(1+1.5+3))

  1. = 1.625 x 0.1819
  2. = 0.2956 cu.m. cement requirement
  3. Cement in k.g. = volume x density cement
  4. Cement in k.g. = 0.2956 cu.m. x 1440 (1440 kg/m Density of cement for 50 k.g)
    1. = 0.2956 x 1440 = 425.646 kg of cement of bag requied ment of cement in k.g.
    2. = 425.646 / 50 (one cemnent bag weight 50 k.g. only) = 8.51 bag
  5. So, 10 cu.m. concrete requirement of cement = 8.52 bag x 10 cu.m. = 85.20 bag

Sand Calculation

  1. Required amount of Sand = 1.625 Cu.m. x (1.5/(1+1.5+3))
    • =0.443 Cu.m. requierd of sand for 1 Cu.m.
  2. So,
    • 10 cu.m. concrete requirement of sand = 0.443 Cu.m x 10 cu.m. = 4.43 cu.m.

Aggregate Calculation

  1. The required amount of Aggregate
    1. = 1.625 Cu.m. x (3/(1+1.5+3))
    2. =0.90 Cu.m. required of sand for 1 Cu.m.
  2. So,
    1. So, 10 cu.m. concrete requirement of sand = 0.90 Cu.m x 10 cu.m. = 9.0 cu.m.
    2. Two types of aggregate like 20 mm & 10 mm size. this ratio 60 % of total aggregate 20mm size, 40 % of total aggregate 20mm size
    3.  20 mm aggregate = 9.0 cu.m. x 60% = 5.4 cu.m. 20 mm size aggregate
    4. 10 mm aggregate = 9.0 cu.m. x 40% = 3.6 cu.m. 20 mm size aggregate

Reinforcement Calculation

  1. Assume of reinforcement 2% of the total volume of concrete.
  2. so,
    1. 1 cu.m. concrete for reinforcement = 1.0 x 2% = 0.02 ton of steel (this 2% only assumse as per exprience)
    2.   Her, 10 Cu.m concrete requirement = 0.02 ton x 10 co.m. =0.20 ton = 200 kg for 10 cu.m.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Is Rcc (Reinforcement Cement Concrete)?

RCC, or Reinforcement Cement Concrete, is a composite material made of cement, sand, aggregate, and steel reinforcement. It is commonly used in construction for its strength and durability.

What Are the Proportions of Materials Used in Rcc?

RCC can be made using different proportions such as 1:0.5:1, 1:1:2, 1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, 1:3:6, etc. The first number represents cement, the second sand, and the third aggregate.

How Is the Measurement of Rcc Performed According to Is Code 1200 Part 2?

Measurements of RCC are taken net in the decimal system as fixed in its place, with dimensions to the nearest 0.01 m except for the thickness of the slab, which is measured to the nearest 0.005 m.

What Deductions Are Considered in Rcc Measurements?

Deductions are made for ends of dissimilar materials (e.g., beams, ports, girders, purlins), openings up to 0.1 m², volume occupied by reinforcement, and small voids not exceeding 40 cm² each in cross-section.

How Is the Quantity of Cement Calculated for Rcc?

The quantity of cement is calculated based on the dry volume of concrete, considering a 30% increase for wastage. For example, for a 1:1.5:3 mix ratio, the calculation involves determining the dry volume and then converting it to bags of cement.

How Is the Quantity of Sand and Aggregate Calculated?

The required amount of sand and aggregate is determined based on their respective proportions in the mix ratio. For example, in a 1:1.5:3 mix ratio, the quantities are calculated by multiplying the dry volume of concrete by their respective fractions.

What Is the Assumed Percentage of Reinforcement in Rcc?

Reinforcement is typically assumed to be 2% of the total volume of concrete. This percentage can vary based on specific project requirements and design specifications.

How Are Labor Charges Calculated in the Rate Analysis of Rcc?

Labor charges are calculated based on the standard rates provided in the CPWD manual, which includes rates for masons, bhisti, coolie, and mate, among others. The calculation also considers the total volume of concrete to be placed.

What Additional Costs Are Included in the Rate Analysis of Rcc?

Additional costs in the rate analysis include charges for scaffolding, transportation, other miscellaneous expenses, water charges, and contractor’s profit. These are calculated as percentages of the total material and labor costs.

How Is the Total Cost of Rcc Determined?

The total cost of RCC is determined by summing up the costs of materials, labor, wastage, hire and running charges of machinery, transportation, and other charges. The final cost is then divided by the volume of concrete to obtain the rate per cubic meter.
