  2.2 If there is a material list in the drawing, the size, specification and quantity of the parts in the list can be checked in turn according to the part number listed in the material list, and whether there are missing, missing and wrong calculation.

  2.3 Pay attention to whether there are design changes and modifications, supplementary instructions, Q & A, etc.

4、 Matters needing attention in calculation

  1. On the format of engineering quantity calculation

  1.1 The weight unit of steel structure is kg, the unit of area is m2, and the unit of length is m. The calculation results are all kept to one decimal place.

  1.2 When calculating the weight of components, the parts of components can be numbered from bottom to top, from left to right, and calculated in this order.

  1.3 The format of the formula is as follows:

  1.3.1Plate: Specification × length × width × quantity

For example – 6 × 500 × 300 × 5, it means that the plate thickness δ = 6 mm, the plate length is 500 mm, the width is 300 mm, and there are 5 pieces.

The weight formula is: 6 × 0.5 × 0.3 × 7.85 × 5 = 35.3kg

  1.3.2Profile: specification, length × quantity × specific gravity

For example, L50 × 5, l = 3500mm × 5 × 3.77, which means that the leg width is 50mm, the length is 3500mm, there are 5 pieces, and the specific gravity is 3.77kg/m.

The weight formula is: 3.5 × 5 × 3.77 = 66.0kg

  2. Some points for attention in calculating dimensions

  2.1 Pay attention to the elevation value of indoor and outdoor and steel column bottom plate, whether it is ± 0.00 or other elevation values.When the length (or height) is calculated by elevation value, special attention should be paid not to be calculated as ± 0.00.

  2.2 The calculation of the height (or length) of stiffening plate, purlin corner brace and parapet eaves bracket corresponding to variable H-section members (beams and columns) can be calculated according to the average H-section height of beams and columns.

  2.3 The length of roof purlin shall be calculated according to the full length without deducting the gap between purlins. In addition, the length of purlin occupied by roof beam at gable shall be added. For example, if the axis represents the center line of roof beam, then purlin length = axis length + roof beam width.

  2.4 In the calculation of wall purlins, attention should be paid to whether the door posts and beams are double purlins, and whether there are double purlins in other parts.

  2.5 The length of tie rod is calculated by adding 50 mm to each end of purlin spacing, and the length of each tie rod is increased by 100 mm.

  2.6 Calculation of edge closing and flashing

  2.6.1 Calculation scope: roof ridge cover plate, flashing board at the interface between gutter and roof panel and parapet, flashing board at the interface between gable and roof panel, coping flash-board on the upper part of parapet, edge closing plate at wall corner, edge closing plate around doors and windows, flashing board at the junction of wall panel and brick wall, flashing board at the junction of wall and canopy, and edge closing plate around canopy.If it is a double-layer plate, the edge closing parts at the joints of roof inner plate and wall inner plate shall be calculated separately.

  2.6.2 About the width of the edge closing flashing plate: Generally speaking, the expanded width of the edge closing flashing part can be calculated as 300 ~ 400mm, and the unfolded width of parapet coping and roof ridge cover plate is calculated as 500 ~ 700mm.In the actual calculation, it can be calculated according to the corresponding contact details.

  2.7 For the web of variable cross-section beam and column, the weight shall be calculated according to the net weight in bidding, subcontracting settlement and cost calculation, and shall be calculated according to the external rectangle when handling the settlement with Party A.All kinds of connecting plates are calculated as external rectangle.

  3. Parts that cannot be recalculated

  3.1 High strength bolt: the connection between column and beam and the connection between crane beam are shared by two components, and one component cannot be calculated once.

  3.2 Roof support, tie bar, column support: some construction drawings show the partial layout of roof support in the column support drawing, but it has been calculated in the calculation of roof support, so it should not be calculated again. In this case, the drawings of roof support and wall support should be compared.

  4. Other precautions

  4.1 When calculating the specific gravity of profile, especially H-beam and steel pipe, do not forget to reduce the thickness.For example, when calculating the specific gravity of steel pipe, do not calculate it as round steel, but subtract the area occupied by inner diameter.

  4.2 Refer to the hardware manual or other materials on the specific gravity of materials, be sure to see clearly, do not check wrong.

  4.3 The specific gravity of C-type purlin can be calculated according to the developed area.

  4.4 The framework of hollow sunlight board, aluminum plastic plate and other decorative surface materials should not be omitted.

  4.5 All the calculation process should be careful and careful. In general, the calculation should be checked twice.We should bear in mind the saying that “a mistake is a thousand li”.If the calculation accuracy is low or there is error, the consequence will be very serious.In addition, we should not be ashamed to ask questions, be open-minded and eager to learn; we should often go to the front line of the project, understand and be familiar with various construction technologies and processes, deepen our impression, and lay a foundation for better budget and settlement work.
