Is it possible to figure the area of rebar required for a concrete pier or column based on the given percentage (1%) and the size of the concrete member? I know you need the factored load typically, but I just wondered if we could figure it without?
I am working on a budgetary number for a parking ramp. The large footing pads do not have an actual rebar design yet, but there is a note stating that the reinforcing requirements shall be 1% of the concrete volume.
The sizes are as follows:
10-0 x 10-0 x 28" (8.641975 CY or 233.3333 CF)
