Well,

1 cubic yard of water at 68 degrees Fahrenheit weighs 1,681.297 pounds.

There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard, and there are 7.48 gallons in each cubic foot, and 1 gallon of water at 68 degrees weighs 8.3249.

The Math: 27 x 7.48 x 8.3249 = 1,681.297 pounds.

The density of water changes ever so slightly depending on it's temperature.

Weight of 40 yard dump truck Weight loaded with 40 yards of soil Weight loaded with 40 yards of concrete?

Don't know the weight of the truck alone -- google it. Concrete (wet) could be assumed to be 145 pounds per cubic foot, and there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. Compacted damp to dry soil (at "optimum moisture" for compacting) might run around 110 to 120 pounds per cubic foot, and loose soil would be considerably less (assuming it's dry and not saturated).


How many pounds does one yard of topsoil weight?

How many square feet is in a yard of soil?

The language used in this question indicates some confusion, so we must clarify some points first.First, although a yard is a unit of length, when you go to a commercial garden center, a "yard" of soil is really a cubic yard. In other words, it's a volume; it has length, width, and height (or depth). But people in the business just call it a yard.Second, a square foot is a unit of area, not volume, so you cannot convert from cubic yards to square feet. However, a cubic yard of soil will cover a certain area of ground, but you have to know how deep you want the soil to be.If you're covering the ground to do a reseeding of lawn, it doesn't have to be too deep, so a (cubic) yard will cover a good amount of ground, but if you're filling in some flower beds or vegetable garden, it won't cover as much area.A cubic yard of soil will cover approximately an 18' x 18' square (324 square feet) to a depth of one inch.

How many liters of soil in a cubic yard?

None, since there can be no conversion.An inch is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a cubic yard is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.


How many cubic yard of concrete in pounds of cement?

It depends on the density of the material. Cubic yards is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight. For example, one cubic yard of feathers will weigh fewer pounds than one cubic yard of lead.
