FAQ
Does the calculator distinguish steel requirements for footings, columns, beams and slabs?
The calculator gives an overall building-level estimate rather than breaking steel down element by element, since a precise per-element split depends on your specific structural design and bar bending schedule. Footings, columns, beams and slabs each carry different reinforcement densities, and only your engineer's drawings can allocate the total tonnage accurately across these elements.
