Hi. How do I calculate the weight of I-Beams & GI C-Purling?
Sample I-BEAM with dimension of 350mm x 350mm x12mm x 19mm x 12meters

Sample GI C-purling 1.28mm x 2″ x 3″ x 6 meters

Hope you can help me. Thank you very much.

Dear Sirs, Please help me in finding load capacity of floor. It is ground floor and need to place 25.63sqmt stand-alone machine without specific foundation. Requirement is of 4.5MT/sqmt load capacity of the floor. How should i go about in testing such load capacity of existing floor? or what concrete mixture layers needs to be prepared for such weight? Your earliest reply would be much appreciated.

Sufiyan says:

Dear Sir, I am working on a residential project (G+6) as a structural engineer. I am confident about my structural engineering knowledge in dealing with building design, but I am finding it a bit difficult to asses the bearing capacity at the site. Could u pls suggest how should I judge it at site, and less expensive method for assessing the bearing capacity at site. Going for soil exploration and boring is a bit costly affair.
Thanks,
Sufiyan

Dear Sirs, Would you please give an example how to calculate weight of MS Pipe using below formula?

SS / MS Pipe
OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) X W.Thick (mm) X 0.0248 = Weight Per Metre
OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) X W.Thick (mm) X 0.00756 = Weight Per Foot
With best regards.

Abdimajid says:

when we are designing asquare column,
we find first gross area then b*d=Ag
b=d for square , by square root on Ag we can find b , so my quastion is how about rectangular column ?
