How many pounds in a yard?
A pound (Lb) is a unit of measurement for weight while a yard is a unit of measurement for distance. I think you have your question mixed up! If you need to make any conversions, I suggest the following site http://www.onlineconversion.com/ If you are refering to common measurements used on a construction site, a "yard" is a common abbreviation for a "cubic yard", which is a unit of measurement of volume. (A cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.) In common usage, you may be asking what does a "cubic yard" of something like dirt or concrete weigh? Since dirt weighs about 110 pounds per cubic feet, a cubic yard of dirt weighs about 2970 Lbs. Since concrete is heavier (150 pcf), a cubic yard of concrete weighs about 4050 Lbs.
How is concrete measure in units?
In the United States, if you are buying concrete mixed up and ready to pour, it is typically sold by the cubic yard (3ft x 3ft x 3ft) volume. But they usually call this just a 'yard' of concrete, knowing that it is a cubic yard.

How many pounds of cement do you need to fill 1 yard?
Assuming you wish to used bagged 'pre-mixed' concrete, the industry standard is 1/2 cubic foot yield from a 60 pound bag. Keep in mind that the true weight will vary due to such things as sand/portland/aggregate ratios. But for a simple answer, you will be close with 3240 pounds. 60 pounds per 1/2 cubic foot, = 120 pounds for each cubic foot. 27 cubic ft. per yard 120 X 27 = 3240
How many yards in 42 bags of concrete?
It would depend on what size of bag, 60lb or 80lb.one 60lb bag usually yeilds about 0.45 cubic feet once mixed (this will vary slightly depending on how much water you add). So 42 bags times 0.45 cubic feet equals 18.9 cubic feet. there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so divide 18.9 by 27 and you get about0.7 cubic yards.if you had 42 bags that weighed 80lbs. then you'd have about 25.2 cubic feet or about0.93 cubic yards
70 cubic mitre of concrete how many cubic mitre of sand gravel and cement to make concrete of grade 15?
I cant accuratly help you with the cement content but you need about 1 ton of sand and 1 ton of stone for every cubic meter of concrete. The cement content would depend on what you are using the concrete for. At 15 newtons of strength you would ( and this is just an educated guess) need about 95kg of OPC cement, 85kg of GGBS slag, 1.5lt of WRA (water reducing agent) and about 70lt of water to gain a 50mm slump per cubic meter. If I were you I would get it ready mixed. 70 Cube is a LOT of cocrete. Ready mixed 15 Newton concrete is about £75 inc vat per meter delivered. Regards Colin, a Tarmac concrete batcher.
Does a 60 pound bag of cement weigh 60 pounds when dried concrete?
no, it will weigh heavier because it will dry into cement when mixed with water and the weight of water will add to the weight of the concrete.
How heavy is a bag of cement?
From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.
