Quickly and accurately calculate excavation volume, blinding, concrete, formwork, and reinforcement for columnbase construction. This tool helps engineers, contractors, and builders plan efficiently, reduce material wastage, and streamline project execution.
1️⃣ Enter Basic Columnbase Dimensions
- Length (meters): Input the length of the columnbase.
- Width (meters): Enter the width of the columnbase.
- Depth (meters): Specify the excavation depth.
These values determine the excavation volume for each columnbase.
Example Calculation:
- 📏 Length: 1.5 meters
- 📏 Width: 1.5 meters
- 📏 Depth: 2 meters
- 🧮 Excavation Volume: 1.5 × 1.5 × 2 = 4.5 m³
2️⃣ Add Additional Inputs
Click Show More Fields to include optional inputs for precise calculations.
- Blinding Depth (m): Depth of the blinding concrete layer.
- Concrete Depth (m): Thickness of the foundation concrete.
- Total Number of Columnbases: Number of columnbases to calculate.
- Horizontal Reinforcement Length (m): Length of horizontal reinforcement bars.
- Vertical Reinforcement Length (m): Length of vertical reinforcement bars.
- Center-to-Center Spacing (m): Spacing between reinforcement bars.
- Reinforcement Type: Select the reinforcement bar size (e.g., 16mm, 12mm).
These inputs enhance accuracy for material estimation.
Example Calculation:
- 📏 Blinding Depth: 0.1 meters
- 🧮 Blinding Volume: 1.5 × 1.5 × 0.1 = 0.225 m³
- 📏 Concrete Depth: 0.3 meters
- 🧮 Concrete Volume: 1.5 × 1.5 × 0.3 = 0.675 m³
3️⃣ Click Calculate
