For the look-ahead planning meeting at the storm-shelter entry vestibule, the #3 stirrup stock takeoff has 60 bars at 30 ft each. Using 0.376 lb per ft for stirrup fabrication, what reinforcing weight is estimated?
Correct Answer
D) 677 lb
Reinforcing weight equals bar count times length times pounds per foot.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Reinforcing weight equals bar count times length times pounds per foot.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 1,800 lb
1,800 lb is above the supported result for #3 stirrup stock; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option B: 23 lb
23 lb is below the supported result for #3 stirrup stock; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 758 lb
758 lb is above the supported result for #3 stirrup stock; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
Measure to reinforcing, adjust for weight, then let Concrete Estimator set the finish line.
