Using imperial measurements, the Concrete Column and Pad Volume Calculator efficiently estimate the concrete required for cylindrical columns and square pads. This tool is ideal for construction projects that need precise concrete volume calculations to reduce waste and optimize resource use.
V = π * D² ÷ 4 * h * nfor the pad;
V = w² * d * n
where V = volume π = 3.14159..., D = diameter h = height of the column w = pad length d = pad thickness n = number of pads and columns
column diameter = 10 inches column height = 4 feet - 8 inches pad size = 28 inches x 28 inches thickness of pad = 10 inches 4 columns and pads
4 * 12 + 8 = 56
4 feet - 8 inches = 56 inches
3.14159 * 10² ÷ 4 * 56 * 4
3.14159 * 100 ÷ 4 * 56 * 4 = 17592.92 rounded to two decimals
The volume of the four columns is 17592.92 cubic inches
28² * 10 * 4
784 * 10 * 4 = 31360
The volume of the four pads is 31360 cubic inches
(17592.92 + 31360) ÷ 1728
48,952.92 ÷ 1728 = 28.3 rounded to one decimal
You will need 28.3 cubic feet of concrete to pour these four columns and pads.
This calculator simplifies concrete estimation for columns and pads, helping users plan efficiently and avoid material shortages or overages.
