๐Ÿ“How Concrete Volume Is Calculated

  1. 1Slab/Footing: Volume = length ร— width ร— depth. Result is in cubic feet.
  2. 2Column: Volume = ฯ€ ร— radiusยฒ ร— height (cylinder formula).
  3. 3Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet).
  4. 4Concrete is typically sold by the cubic yard. Add 5โ€“10% extra to account for spillage and uneven sub-base.
  5. 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.
