approx. 74 yards Sorry, Dabar, but I think you have not accounted for the conversion of cu. feet to cubic yards...my calculations are as follows...... 40 X 17 is equal to 680 cubic FEET of area. You take the 680 and divide by 27 to get the cu. YARDS of concrete. (25.1 cu. yds) Then because you only want the slab 4 inches thick, you multiply by .33 (or 8.25 cu. yards of concrete) Then you allow 10 % for waste or shortage....(make this about a yard...so, 8.25 and one for waste/shortage is equal to 9.25 cu. yards of Concrete for this project)
