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 many 80 lb bags of Concerte in half a cubic yard?
An 80 lb bag of concrete typically yields about 0.6 cubic feet when mixed. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, half a cubic yard is 13.5 cubic feet. To find how many 80 lb bags are needed, divide 13.5 by 0.6, which equals approximately 22.5 bags. Therefore, you would need about 23 bags of 80 lb concrete to fill half a cubic yard.
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 do you mix 1 cubic yard concrete?
you don't...it is just a measure of mixed concrete. it is approximately 2 tons or one bucket load of a machine digger
How many bags of ready mixed concrete does it take to do a quarter cubic yard pour?
it takes about 15. my dad does it.
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
How is concrete sold?
Concrete is typically sold by volume, measured in cubic yards or cubic meters. It can be purchased ready-mixed from suppliers who deliver it directly to construction sites in trucks. Additionally, pre-packaged concrete products are available at hardware stores for smaller projects, often sold in bags. Pricing may vary based on the type of concrete, additives, and local market conditions.
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.
What is the volume of sack of concrete mix?
The volume of a sack of concrete mix typically varies based on the size of the bag. A standard 80-pound (36.3 kg) bag of concrete mix generally yields about 0.6 cubic feet (approximately 0.017 cubic meters) when mixed with water. Smaller bags, such as 60-pound (27.2 kg) bags, yield about 0.45 cubic feet (approximately 0.013 cubic meters). Always check the specific product label for precise volume yield.
What is CBM 4 concrete?
CBM 4 concrete refers to a specific grade of concrete used in construction, characterized by its compressive strength of 40 megapascals (MPa) when cured for 28 days. It is commonly used for structural applications, such as in beams, columns, and slabs, where higher strength and durability are required. The designation "CBM" stands for "Cubic Meter," indicating that the concrete is mixed and measured in cubic meters for consistency in large-scale projects.
How many 80lb bags of concrete does it take to fill in a 3'x3'x3' hole?
To fill a 3'x3'x3' hole, you first need to calculate the volume, which is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet. An 80 lb bag of concrete typically yields about 0.6 cubic feet when mixed. Therefore, to fill the hole, you would need approximately 45 bags of 80 lb concrete (27 cubic feet ÷ 0.6 cubic feet per bag).
