Unit Weight of Metals

Dear Readers,

 

Now you may well aware about to calculate the weights of steel structures. During construction activities you want to calculate the weights of steel members you will do it absolutely. However if the material is other than steel?It is very simple, formula is same but the specific weight (kg/Cum) is varies.

 

Example below illustrate to calculate  plate size is 1500 X 1500 X 6 with different material (Iron & Copper)

 

For Steel ( 7850kg/Cum or 7.85kg/sqm)

                = (1.5 X 1.5 X 6 X 7.85)

                = 105.975 kg

 

For Copper Plate same size (8930kg/Cum or 8.93Kg/sqm)

                = (1.5 X 1.5 X 6 X 8.93)

                = 120.555 kg

 

For Unit Weight of more metals listed below table

 

 

Hope above table would be more useful for Construction Engineers. If any queries please send your queries through contact form or send a mail to engineerdiary@gmail.com

PROPERTIES OF ISJB

Dear Readers,

 

This is continuation with my earlier post unit weight of ISJB, self would like to post the sectional properties of ISJB. I am sure this post would be very helpful to all engineers.

 

Properties of beams are having two parts. One part is Physical dimensions and another part is sectional properties of Beam. Basically dimensional part contains depth and width of section, Thickness of Web and Flange and Root Radius. Where as sectional properties contains Moment of Inertia, Radius of Gyration and Section Modulus. These are useful for design engineers. Click on picture to enlarge.
