Concrete Calculator

How to Use Concrete Calculator?

As the name suggests, the concrete calculator is known in the construciton industry. It benefits the construction contractors who compete for bids on multiple projects. If they know how much the project cost will be, they can make wise decisions about the project budget and make good profits. For this, they need to see the cost of different materials. In construction, concrete is the primary source of money expenditures. Therefore, the concrete calculator will tell you the right amount of concrete you will require for the project. Here is how to use this calculator:

1. Enter the Length/ width/ diameter: In the first step, you need to enter the length of the concrete object, such as a slab, or the diameter if it is circular, such as a column or hole, and its width. The units of length, diameter, and width are standard (meters).
2. Enter the height: In the second field, you must enter the height of the specific concrete object.
3. Enter the quantity: Next, when you enter the length, height, and diameter of the concrete object, you need to enter the amount of the object or structure. It helps the calculator to calculate the total amount for all the concrete structures.

When you enter all the details about your concrete structures, you just have to click the calculate button, and the calculator will give you the right amount of concrete for your needs. It is a handy and reliable tool for concrete calculations.

Concrete Calculation for Slabs, Square Footings, or Walls

The calculator gives you multiple options for calculating various concrete modules used in your construction project. Suppose you want to calculate the concrete amount for slabs, square footings, or walls. Here is how you follow the process:

Example;

Length: 2.5 foot

Width: 4 foot

Thickness or height: 5 inch

Quantity: 1

Solution

When you enter all the above details, the calculator will use its algorithms and provide you with these results:

• 5.21 cubic feet or 0.193 cubic yards or 0.147 cubic meters
• If pre-mixed concrete*, it is 693 lbs or 314 kg
• If 60 lbs per bag, it is 11.5 bags
• If 80 lbs per bag, it is 8.66 bags

These details show that you need how many concrete bags for how much area or space. 

Concrete Calculation for Hole, Colum, or Round Footings

Example;

Suppose you enter these details about your concrete slabs:

Diameter: 2.5 foot

Depth or Height: 6 inch

Quantity: 1

Solution 

When you enter the above details in the calculator, it will process them using formulas and give you the amount of concrete for specific areas. You can also input these details in different units such as foot, inch, yard, etc.

• 2.45 cubic feet or 0.0909 cubic yards or 0.0695 cubic meters
• If pre-mixed concrete*, it is 326 lbs or 148 kg
• If 60 lbs per bag, it is 5.44 bags
• If 80 lbs per bag, it is 4.08 bags

Concrete Calculation for Circular Slab or Tube

If you have circular slabs of tubes, the caricature gives you another calculating solution specific to circular concrete objects.

Example;

Suppose you have a circular slab work, and each slab has a diameter of 5 feet, an inner diameter of 4 feet, length is 5; then you can calculate the concrete requirement for one such slab:

Solution

After carefully entering all the details, the calculator will process your inputted information through complex mathematical equations and give you an instant concrete estimation. 

• 2.95 cubic feet or 0.109 cubic yards or 0.0834 cubic meters
• If pre-mixed concrete*, it is 392 lbs or 178 kg
• If 60 lbs per bag, it is 6.53 bags
• If 80 lbs per bag, it is 4.90 bags

It is fantastic to calculate the concrete amount in just a second for any building dimension. The calculator provides this feature free of cost. Just open the calculator and get your concrete estimates.
