How Do You Calculate A Cubic Yard Of Concrete?

0

Concrete is sold and delivered by the cubic yard. For this reason it is important to know how to calculate how much concrete is in a cubic yard, and just how much it will cover. Break down a cubic yard of concrete in the total number of cubic inches. A cubic yard of concrete is 36 inches tall, by 36 inches wide, by 36 inches deep. To determine the number of cubic inches you will multiply the width times the height times the depth. In this case the calculation looks like this. 36W x 36H x 36D = 46,656 cubic inches. Calculate the amount of concrete it will take to complete one square foot of your project. For this example we will say you are laying a patio which will be 4 inches thick. For this calculation you will again multiple the width times the height times the depth. This calculation looks like this. 12W x 4H x 12D = 576 cubic inches Determine how much of your project you can complete per cubic yard of concrete. Using the examples from above, we will take the cubic inches required
