Unit Weight of Materials
Materials IS 875 Part 1:1987~1 min
Calculate the weight of common construction materials given volume.
Formula
Weight = Volume × Unit Weight
Input Parameters
RCC=25, PCC=24, Steel=78.5, Brick=19, Soil=18
Results
Weight
25.00kN
Weight
2,548kg
Weight
2.548tonnes
Step-by-Step Method
- 1Determine the unit weight of the material from IS 875 Part 1.
- 2Weight = Volume × Unit weight.
Engineering Notes
- •RCC = 25 kN/m³ | PCC = 24 kN/m³ | Steel = 78.5 kN/m³
- •Brick masonry = 19 kN/m³ | Soil = 18 kN/m³ | Water = 9.81 kN/m³
- •Timber = 6–10 kN/m³ | Glass = 25.6 kN/m³
