Columns Concrete Volume
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.
Using metric measurements? If your columns are sized in metres and millimetres, switch to the Concrete Column Calculator - Metric.

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.
