What Is the Thumb Rule?

Rule of thumb At first, we’ve to understand the meaning of the thumb rule before jumping into the discussion. Thumb rules are “ Approximate Value ”. Thumb Rules has no unit systems We use the thumb rules for nearly every computation like concrete computation, force estimation, the material demand for trouncing, destruction computation, and brickwork computation. The thumb rule means the approximate value, not 100 percent confirm the value.

Manpower productivity by Thumb Rule

Thumb rules will be useful to calculate the total force needed for your coming schedule.

Thumb rule for concrete work

The concrete constituents will vary grounded on the blend rate.

For Example,

If the Plinth area is 100Sq.ft

( 10 x 10) and the needed

concrete volume is 100 x0.04 = 4 m³  with M5 blend rate means

Now from the below table which is for 1 m³

The needed Concrete Constituents for 4 m³ M5

Cement –2.77 x 4 = 11.08 bags

Beach –0.48 x 4 = 1.92 m³

Coarse total = 0.96 x 4 = 3.84 m³

Thumb Rule of Concrete material

The demand Grade rate of Cement in Bags and Sand in m³ Coarse summations in m³

Grade   Ratio     Cement          Sand       Aggregates

M5      1:5:10       2.77               0.48        0.96

M7.5   1:4:8         3.41               0.47        0.95

M10     1:3:6        4.44               0.46        0.92

M15     1:2:4        6.34               0.44        0.88

M20     1:0.5:5      8.06               0.42        0.84

M25     1:1:2         11.09             0.39        0.77

Thumb rule for Plastering Work For trouncing

The material volume will vary grounded on the different blend rates like concrete and the thumb rule for trouncing work Mentioned

Thumb rule for Brick Work

1-The size of the slip up 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm

Thumb rule for RCC Structure/Steel

The sword brings veritably preciousness compared to other construction material and the redundant purchase of sword demand impact the design budget. A good developer restrains sword application.

Type of Steel Structure                   Kg/ Sqft

Domestic structure                                                2.5 to4.5

marketable structure                                             4.5 to5.5

Mass Project Tall or heavy Structure                    6 to 8

The Rebar %  against concrete volume at all times based on the structural element and the minimum and maximum % of Rebar used in all construction work as mentioned as per IS standard.

The Thumb rule for Rebar in RCC 

Structural Element % of Rebar  in Concrete
Rebar in the Slab                  O1  Percent
Rebar in the Beam                O1  Percent to 2Percent
Rebar in the Column             2.50Percent
