- Multiply the length, width, and depth of the area (all in feet) to get the volume in cubic feet.
- Divide the result by 27 to convert to cubic yards.
- Add 5–10% extra to cover waste.
Example: For an area 10 ft long, 8 ft wide, and 0.5 ft deep:
(10×8×0.5)÷27=1.48yd3(10 × 8 × 0.5) ÷ 27 = 1.48 yd³(10×8×0.5)÷27=1.48yd3
Add 10%: 1.48×1.1=1.63yd31.48 × 1.1 = 1.63 yd³1.48×1.1=1.63yd3.
- Multiply the length, width, and depth of the area (all in meters) to get the volume in cubic meters.
- Add 5–10% extra to cover waste.
Example: For an area 3 m long, 2 m wide, and 0.15 m deep:
(3×2×0.15)=0.9m3(3 × 2 × 0.15) = 0.9 m³(3×2×0.15)=0.9m3
Add 10%: 0.9×1.1=0.99m30.9 × 1.1 = 0.99 m³0.9×1.1=0.99m3.
- To convert PSI to MPa, divide the PSI value by 145.
Example: 3000 PSI÷145=20.69 MPa3000 \, \text{PSI} ÷ 145 = 20.69 \, \text{MPa}3000PSI÷145=20.69MPa.
- Multiply the volume in cubic meters by 1.3079 to convert to cubic yards.
Example: 1 m³×1.3079=1.3079 yd³1 \, \text{m³} × 1.3079 = 1.3079 \, \text{yd³}1m³×1.3079=1.3079yd³.
Yes, our engineers provide on-site support and guidance during critical phases of the project, ensuring the concrete is applied correctly for optimal performance.
