The area of a steel bar (in square units) is calculated using the following formula:
A=π×(2d​)2
Where:
A = Area of the steel bar (in square units)
d = Diameter of the steel bar (in the same units as you want the area)
So, for example, if the diameter of the steel bar is 12 mm (which is a common size for reinforcement), the area of the steel bar would be:
A=π×(212​)2=π×62=π×36≈113.1mm2
If you mentioned "456" in your question, it could refer to the area of a specific steel bar (perhaps related to a specific bar diameter or the IS 456 code, which is an Indian standard for reinforced concrete). Could you clarify your question or provide more context about 456 to ensure the correct answer?
