The engine's platform has a rectangular foundation cross-section of 15 x 4 m. The height of the reinforced stone concrete foundation and the uniform clearance on each side are 1.5 m and 0.75 m respectively. Find the weight of the steel bar reinforcements needed is 3/4 % of the weight of the foundation.
