To determine the amount of metal (reinforcement, like rebar) needed for a concrete floor, you first need to calculate the volume of concrete. For a 20 ft x 18 ft area with a thickness of 4 inches (or 1/3 ft), the volume is 20 x 18 x (1/3) = 120 cubic feet. The amount of rebar required depends on the design specifications, but a common approach is to use about 1 to 1.5% of the total concrete volume in rebar, which would equate to approximately 1.2 to 1.8 cubic feet of metal. However, the specific amount of rebar may vary based on load requirements and local building codes.
To determine if a 2x12x16 ft beam can support a 6-inch thick concrete floor, you need to consider the weight of the concrete and the load-bearing capacity of the beam. A 6-inch thick concrete floor weighs approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot, totaling around 1,125 pounds per square foot. The 2x12 beam must be properly supported and spaced according to building codes to ensure it can bear this load without risk of failure. Consulting a structural engineer for specific calculations and safety assessments is recommended.
Thick is an adjective not a noun
That depends on the length and width of your construction.
It will depend greatly on the thickness & install method, however a standard unit of measure would be .020 for 1/4" thick tiles which is almost the same value as Concrete at .100 for 1" thickness
1"
yes it is, if that is the bottom floor
This depends on the age and whether it has a basement or not

Materials such as metal, concrete, and thick walls block radio waves most effectively.
13 x 6.7 x 0.1 = 8.71m3
it should be four inches on a sub-base of sand and/or gracel plus reinforcement bars or heavy screen if it was well made.

The concrete typically used for driveway construction is around 4 inches thick.
The thickness of a second-floor structure typically depends on the type of materials used and the load requirements. For wood framing, floor joists are generally 1.5 inches thick, while concrete slabs can range from 4 to 6 inches thick. Additionally, factors such as insulation, flooring, and ceiling finishes may add extra thickness. Always consult local building codes and a structural engineer for specific requirements.
It depends on how thick you want the concrete.
A concrete driveway should be at least 4 inches thick to ensure durability and longevity.
Get a nice big sledge hammer, (probably a 12lb) and go at it as hard as you can. Use a smaller hammer and chisel for the corners.
