For slabs: ((H * W * D) / 27) *1.10
For fenceposts: one bag per post.
An example for a slab: We are building a maintenance shop for big trucks. It will be 40 feet long, 50 feet wide and the slab will be six inches thick.
So...40 x 50 is 2,000 square feet. Multiply that by 0.5 feet (a 3" slab is 0.25 feet, and a 4" slab is 0.33 feet) to get 1,000 cubic feet. Divide by 27 (the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard) to get 37.0370... cubic yards. Adding 10 percent (this is an industry standard) gives you 40.7407...cubic yards. This is a tricky one...concrete trucks hold either 6 or 11 yards of concrete and you get a full one when you order concrete, so you'll get either 42 yards (seven truckloads) or 44 (four loads).
I need a new driveway in front of my house. I know the type of path I want. WHere do I find concrete contractors?
It depends on the concrete company you're working with. You need 33 yards of concrete. Concrete companies deliver the stuff in full truckloads - and no, this is NOT a job for Sakrete. If you can find a company that has Oshkosh front-load mixers, you'll need three truckloads because those trucks hold 11 yards. If you can only find companies with rear-load mixers, you need 36 yards because a rear-load mixer holds 6 yards of concrete.
First find out how much concrete is needed for your project thwn do the calculations.
Well assuming the depth of concrete is going to be 1 meter you will need 846 cubic meters of concrete.
1 cubic yd of a concrete mixture contains about 500 hundred lbs of cement
It depends how thick you want it
For a 4-inch depth you will need at least 7 cubic yards.
You will need at least 14 cubic yards.
Mass is: M=V x d.To calculate the mass you need to know the density of this concrete and also the volume.
For a 4-inch depth you will need at least 7 cubic yards.
