Concrete Column Volume Calculator

Column

In architecture and structural engineering, a column or pillar is a structural member that transfers the weight of the structure above it to other structural components below it by means of compression.

Concreting of RCC Column

Concreting of an RCC column can be done

• Manually
• With the help of pump or machine

Points to be followed during and after concreting

1. For smaller amounts, concrete is mixed by machine, and for larger amounts, ready-mixed concrete (RMC) is purchased.
2. The client has to agree to using a pump or pouring concrete by hand.
3. Concrete should be poured up to the bottom of the slab, and the rest of the column gets filled in when the slab and beam are poured.

4. The column must employ a mechanical vibrator, but too much vibration might cause segregation. It's important to compact each layer to the fullest extent.
5. Do not pour concrete higher than 1.5 meters.
6. In the column, there should not be a construction junction at any point.
7. The proper cover must be maintained in accordance with the structural drawings.
8. When pouring concrete, the temperature should be below 30 degrees.
9. The horizontality and verticality of the column must be verified after the concrete has been poured and vibrated using a vibrator.

How to use concrete column calculator?

1. The amount of concrete needed may be easily calculated by multiplying the desired volume by the density of the concrete. In other words, this provides the necessary weight.
2. Determine the exact size of your columns. Specify the cross sectional dimensions of the concrete column you want to use.
3. Find out how many columns you'll need. Our cement calculator will use this information to determine how much of each component is needed.
