Poundage Concrete

This document provides average quantities of reinforcement steel per cubic meter in different types of concrete building elements. It lists the typical weight ranges of reinforcement in kg/m3 for bases, beams, columns, footings, walls and other elements. Beams require 150-300 kg/m3 on average, while columns require 200-450 kg/m3. The document also estimates the percentage of total structure weight made up of reinforcement steel for different elements, ranging from around 1% for bases to nearly 6% for columns.
