How much does 9 cubic yards of cement weigh?
Answer #1:9 cubic yards cement weight nearly 1260 lbs=============================Answer #2:Answer #1 is a very intriguing one. It says that 9 cubic yards (9 x 27 cubic feet)of cement weighs nearly 1,260 pounds. If so, then each cubic foot would weighnearly 5.2 pounds, which corresponds to nearly 8.3% of the density of water.So cement would float quite high in water. Mysteriously, it doesn't.I found one online conversion reference that says that1 cubic foot of Portland cement weighs 94.02 pounds.(94.02 pounds/cubic foot) x (9 cubic yards) x (27 cubic foot/cubic yard) = 22,847 pounds(rounded)Somehow, that sounds more like it.Also, if the question actually meant 'concrete, limestone with Portland cement"instead of 'cement', then the weight is nearly 60% greater than that.
What is the weight of 8 x 8 x 12 cement block?

Why does a bag of cement weigh 94 pounds?
The weight of a 94 lb. sack of cement is incidental - the bag is packaged in that size in order to hold one cubic foot of cement, and 94 pounds is simply what one cubic foot of dry cement powder weighs. Mix design for concrete was originally performed by volume and not by weight. Mix designers were initially concerned about variations in density and thought volume would deliver the most consistent results. As time progressed, they found that mix design were not adversly affected when designed by weight, (which was also much simpler), and therefore became used industry wide. Because 94lbs of cement is, as noted above, what 1 cubic foot of cement weighs, the 94 lb sack was a backhanded way for the mix designers to check the weight calculations easily with known volumes.
How much concrete does a 80lb bag yield?
An 80-pound bag of premixed cement = .667 cubic feet, or 2/3 of a cubic foot, of concrete. A 60-pound bag of premixed cement = .5 cubic feet, or 1/2 of a cubic foot, of concrete.
What is the volume of a cement bag?
Usually 1 cubic foot. It can be sold in smaller bags, but when someone refers to the ratio of cement in a concrete mix (i.e. a "5 bag mix") then they mean 1 cubic foot.

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
What does 810 sq-ft of cement cost?
Square foot doesn't tell you, you need to know cubic footage and then figure how many cubic yards that makes. Cement is sold by the cubic yard.
