Estimating Concrete: Concrete Volume Per Sq. Ft. of Slab

This document provides formulas and tables to help estimate the volume of concrete needed for slabs of varying depths. The volume of concrete in cubic yards can be calculated using the formula that considers the slab's length, width, and thickness. Tables are also included that show the volume of concrete in cubic yards needed per square foot of slab or the area in square feet that 1 cubic yard of concrete can cover, for different slab depths ranging from 2 to 12 inches.

Estimating Concrete

Concrete volume per sq. ft. of slab

Concrete is in general calculated in cubic yards - cy.


v = 0.0031 l w t (1)
where
v = required concrete - cy (cu. yards)
l = slab length (ft)
w = slab width (ft)
t = slab depth (in)

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

1 ft = 12 in
