Columns Concrete Volume

Concrete Calculator For Columns

The Columns Concrete Volume Calculator helps determine the precise amount of concrete needed to fill cylindrical columns, providing results in cubic feet, cubic yards, and cubic meters.
This tool is handy for construction and building projects. It ensures accurate concrete estimations and reduces material waste. It calculates the tube's lineal length for precise measurements and volume conversions across different units.



Note:
The lineal foot amount of tubing (forming material) is rounded upwards to the nearest whole foot, but more than likely, you will end up wasting some of the material!

Calculator

  1. enter the number of columns
  2. the diameter of the columns
  3. the height of the columns

Results

  1. the length of tubing material needed in lineal feet (rounded up to the nearest whole foot)
  2. the amount of concrete needed in cubic feet
  3. in cubic yards
  4. in cubic metres

Formula's used:
V = Π * D² ÷ 4 * h
where V = concrete volume in cubic feet
pi = 3.14159......
D = diameter
h =  height
Example calculation:
column height= 4 feet - 6 inches
diameter = 10 inches
5 columns

Convert 4 feet- 6 inches into inches; 
4 * 12 + 6 = 54
4 feet - 6 inches = 54 inches.

Using the formula from above 
3.14159  * 10² ÷ 4  * 54 * 5 = 21205.750
The volume is 21205.750 cubic inches

Convert this to cubic feet by dividing this amount by 1728 (there are 1728 cubic inches in one cubic foot); 
21205.750 / 1728 = 12.27 rounded to two decimals
You need 12.27 cubic feet of concrete for these five columns.

To convert cubic feet to cubic yards multiply cubic feet * 0.037037037037037
To convert cubic feet to cubic metres multiply cubic feet * 0.028316846592
To convert cubic yards to cubic metres multiply cubic yards * 0.764554857984

When Ordering Concrete

This concrete calculator will help you in estimating the amount of concrete needed for your project. The amount given as needed, does not include any waste. It is recommended, depending on the job you are doing, to add anywhere from an extra 4% to 10% to your concrete order to make sure you have enough concrete to finish the job. Ask when ordering the concrete. They will be able to give you a good idea of what is needed.
