This all depends on the class of Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) it is. Typically the manufactorers of RCP recommend one foot of compacted fill over a pipe for construction traffic. As long as the material is not wet I would drive over it any day.

How much steel is required for one cubic meter of concrete?

None. Concrete may be formed without metal.If you are reinforcing the concrete with rebar then it depends on what loads the reinforced concrete will have to bear, the dimension of the rebar, the safety factor involved, and lots of other geometric factors.Steel bars quantity will be according to structure element; but a (very) rough average of 120 KG per cubic meter.


Average cost of concrete?

Concrete costs around 90 dollars per cubic yard. You can multiply the dimensions of the job you are doing by this amount.


Is it possible to interconnect two apartments one on top of each other by drilling a large hole in the concrete ceiling and then fitting a spiral staircase?

Technically it's possible, but it needs a lot of knowledge of concrete, and of where exactly the support for the floor is. We are not talking about a small hole, for an average circular staircase, the hole would have to be at least 6 feet diameter. The concrete is likely to be 'stressed', in other words containing steel cables which would make cutting it very difficult. That's a big chunk out of a floor. It may even need to be supported on the edge of this hole in at least 2-3 places.


How does the cost of slate flooring compare to concrete?

A finished concrete floor is generally less expensive than a slate or stone floor. A simple professionally poured concrete floor can average about $5.00 a square meter. An installed slate floor costs considerably more that concrete depending on the tile you choose and installation costs. Slate flooring is more expensive than concrete. Stamped concrete is also an option that looks nice but it is still less than slate.

How much does a yard of concrete weigh?

Fresh concrete can weight about 3700 lbs for every cubic yard. The density will also determine how much is its weight. assuming its weight to be around 150 lbs for per cubic feet. This would make it around 4000 lbs which could come to 2 tons. Calculating the weight of reinforced concrete could be a bit more difficult since this type come with steel bars. On an average, we could assume 500 lbs for steel density per cubic feet which is almost 3 times more than cement. So with this calculation, we can assume the weight of reinforced concrete to be around 4000 lbs.
