During the crew-release check at the retail vestibule replacement, the #3 stirrup stock takeoff has 111 bars at 36 ft each. Using 0.376 lb per ft for stirrup fabrication, what reinforcing weight is estimated?
Correct Answer
D) 1,502 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: 3,996 lb
3,996 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: 42 lb
42 lb is below the supported result for #3 stirrup stock; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 1,682 lb
1,682 lb is above the supported result for #3 stirrup stock; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
