Thanks too Bill...
Thanks Armando... I managed to find some more information yesterday... from a UK Civils Design Group
Specific data for "Water Retaining Structures"
Walls 100mm thickness per metre retained height rebar density 120kg/m3
Bases wall thickness plus 50mm rebar density 130kg/m3
For piled bases the density increases to 150kg/m3
General note - for non water retaining structures reduce the densities by 25%.
Warehouse Type of Project:
Isolated Footing> 80 - 120 kgs/m3
Pedestals/Columns> 120 kgs/m3
Beams>110 - 120 kgs/m3
Slab on Grade> 50 kgs/m3
Hope it helps...
Arman
