How to Calculate Rebar Weight

Reinforcing steel bars (rebar) are specified by diameter and used to strengthen concrete structures. Knowing the total weight helps with cost estimation, structural calculations, and delivery planning.

Rebar Weight Formula

Weight (kg/m) = d2 / 162

Where d = diameter in millimeters. This is the standard formula used in structural engineering.

Standard Rebar Weights

DiameterWeight per MeterWeight per 6 m bar
8 mm0.395 kg/m2.37 kg
10 mm0.617 kg/m3.70 kg
12 mm0.888 kg/m5.33 kg
16 mm1.579 kg/m9.47 kg
20 mm2.467 kg/m14.80 kg
25 mm3.854 kg/m23.12 kg
32 mm6.313 kg/m37.88 kg

Common Applications

  • Foundation slabs and footings
  • Columns and beams
  • Retaining walls
  • Bridges and infrastructure
  • Pool shells

Rebar Spacing and Concrete Coverage

Standard requirements: minimum 40–50 mm of concrete cover over rebar to protect against corrosion. Spacing is typically 150–300 mm center-to-center for slabs, depending on structural requirements and design loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weight (kg/m) = 0.006165 × d² where d is diameter in mm. This uses steel density of 7,850 kg/m³ with the bar's cross-sectional area.
10 mm and 12 mm bars are the most common for residential foundations and slabs. 16-25 mm bars are used for columns and beams.
Grade 60 rebar (414 MPa yield strength) is the standard in the US. The structural capacity depends on the concrete mix, cover depth, and structural design — always consult an engineer.
