I-beam — 212.5 kg per metre, 270 cm² cross-sectional area. IS 808 Table 13 - Parallel Flange Bearing Piles.
Parallel Flange Bearing Piles (PBP). Reproduced as printed in IS 808 Table 13 - Parallel Flange Bearing Piles.
A radius of gyration here disagrees with this row’s own I and A
As printed in IS 808 Table 13 - Parallel Flange Bearing Piles. 368 mm deep, 400 mm wide. Units are shown on every row, because the two standards on this site use different ones for the radius of gyration.

Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of PBP 400 at six metres each is 212.5 × 6 × 10 = 12,750 kg. There is nothing else to it — the standard publishes the mass, so no one needs to compute it from the area.
You can check that mass against the area on this page: 270 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 211.95 kg/m. Every row in this dataset was checked that way, which is how the contradictions flagged on some of these pages were found.

IS 808 : 2021 gives PBP 400 a mass of 212.5 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 270 cm² agrees: 270 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 211.95 kg per metre.
1275.00 kg. Mass per metre times length: 212.5 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 12750 kg.
368 mm deep and 400 mm wide, with a 24 mm web and 24 mm flanges.

Log in to QuickBOQ →Where these figures come from. IS 808 Table 13 - Parallel Flange Bearing Piles Section properties are facts published in the standards, and they are reproduced here as printed. Where a standard contradicts itself, both of its figures are shown and neither is corrected.
What is ours. The selection and arrangement of these tables, the checks run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording. Quote the numbers freely; they belong to everyone. Copying the compilation and the commentary is a different thing, and we would rather you linked to it.
