?How to calculate weight of bars : reinforcement concrete

For calculating the weight of bars we can use this formula
Just keep in mind that , while using the above formula, the unit for Diameter is millimeter (mm) while that of Length is meter(m).
and the unit of weight is kilogram (Kg).

And also note that for calculating weight of bars/ reinforcements of different materials (other than mild steel), the density part must be changed accordingly.

What is the nominal weight of standard concrete?
How heavy is concrete?
The weight of concrete can vary slightly depending on the mix type. The most typical value widely used is 150 lb/ft^3 for the most common/ordinary concrete strength at ~ 4,000 psi = 4000 lbf / (sq in). The aggregate used, strength of concrete and how thin or semi dry the concrete is prepared are the aspects for concrete weight. Even though the aggregate is denser and heavier than water (4 parts of the aggregate is contained within the concrete - add 1 part dry cement + water, 4:1 always in volume sense is the usual standard concrete mixing ratio), wet fresh concrete before it sets will not be much heavier nor lighter per volume unit because the water presence is adding to its total weight. Though, to be exact, there is the marginal drying shrinkage caused by the water evaporation from the fresh concrete which causes a slight weight difference between the soft and set concrete state ... read further down.
