How many cubic feet are in a yard?

Contractors and construction people often speak of "yards" of concrete, topsoil, or fill. They are in fact speakeing of "cubic yards" which is the common unit of measure when reffering to these items, they simply abbreviate and everybody they generally interface with understands that the quantity refferred to is cubic or a volume.For instance a concrete sidewalk 4 inches thick, 4 feet wide, and 120 feet long requires 1/3 foot X 4 feet X 120 feet or 160 cubic feet of concrete. There are 27 (3 X 3 X 3) cubic feet in a cubic yard. Then the sidewalk would require 160 ft3 divided by 27 ft3/yd3 or 6 cubic yards. The contractor would call the Ready Mix plant and say, "I need 6 yards of concrete at this address at this time" and 6 cubic yards would be delivered as requested.Additionally, Earth Moving equipment capacities are measured in cubic yards. It's not unusual to hear a contractor say, "Yah, we had to move 3,000,000 yards of fill to build that runway", or some other project.It's not proper terminology, but it is communicating, and that is the desired outcome. A yard is a measure of distance; a cubic foot is a measure of volume. They aren't compatible. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.


How much dirt is 60 yards of dirt?

When a person speaks of a 'yard' of dirt, sand, cement or similar material, they actually mean a 'cubic yard'. A yard is a measurement of length. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume.60 (cubic) yards of dirt is the equivalent of 1,620 cubic feet of dirt.One cubic yard is measured as an amount that is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet high, or 27 cubic feet.60 cubic yards equals 27 cubic feet x 60, which equals 1,620 cubic feet.If you spread 60 cubic yards of dirt one foot thick you'd have an area of 1,620 square feet.If you spread this dirt 6 inches thick you'd have an area of 3,240 square feet.


If 1 cubic yard of mulch costs 34.00 how much do 2 cubic feet cost?

Basically, what you will need to do is convert cubic yards to cubic feet, determine the cost per cubic foot, and then multiply by two. One cubic yard is a volume equivalent to the space inside a box that is three feet wide, three feet high, and three feet deep. In other words, it's a cube that measures one linear yard on each edge. Hence, a cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet (3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet). We can then determine the cost of each cubic foot by dividing the price of a cubic yard by 27. So, $34.00 / 27 cu. ft. = $1.26 / cu. ft. (I rounded to the nearest cent.) The cost of two cubic feet, therefore, is 2 x $1.26 = $2.52.

How much area does a cubic yard of concrete 4 thick cover?

A cubic yard of concrete covers an area of 81 square feet when poured at a thickness of 4 inches. This is calculated by dividing the total volume of the cubic yard (27 cubic feet) by the thickness in feet (1/3 foot for 4 inches), resulting in 27 ÷ (1/3) = 81 square feet.

How much concrete will it take for a 12x12x4 slab?

To calculate the amount of concrete needed for a 12x12x4 slab, first convert the dimensions to feet: 12 feet by 12 feet by 4 inches (which is 1/3 foot). The volume in cubic feet is 12 x 12 x (1/3) = 48 cubic feet. Since concrete is typically sold by the cubic yard, divide the volume by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard): 48 ÷ 27 ≈ 1.78 cubic yards of concrete is required.

How many square feet are in 1 yard of concrete?

A yard of concrete is a measure of volume. A square foot is a measure of area. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet of stuff. (3x3x3)To relate volume to area you must extend the area over a third dimension. One square foot that is one foot deep will equal one cubic foot. (1x1x1)So, a yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet or 3 feet tall 3 feet wide 3 feet deep. concrete wieghs 150lbs per cubic foot 27cubic feet times 150 pounds is 4050 pounds. This is 1 cubic yard of concrete.
