๐How Concrete Volume Is Calculated
- 1Slab/Footing: Volume = length ร width ร depth. Result is in cubic feet.
- 2Column: Volume = ฯ ร radiusยฒ ร height (cylinder formula).
- 3Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet).
- 4Concrete is typically sold by the cubic yard. Add 5โ10% extra to account for spillage and uneven sub-base.
- 5One 60 lb bag = ~0.45 ftยณ. One 80 lb bag = ~0.60 ftยณ.
* For large pours (>1 cubic yard), ready-mix delivery is more economical than bags. Always wear appropriate safety gear when mixing concrete.
