Concrete Volume for Pouring Pads

Calculate the amount of concrete needed for pouring concrete pads.

Concrete Pad - Imperial

Calculation

number of pads needed (preset at 1)
length of pad in feet and inches
width of pad in feet and inches
pad thickness in inches

Results

forming material needed, in lineal feet, for pad(s)
amount of concrete needed in cubic feet
concrete needed in cubic yards
concrete needed in cubic metres

Formula

length * width * depth * number = volume

Example Calculation

number of pads = 12
pad length = 2' - 6"
pad width =  2' - 6"
depth = 10"

Convert the measurements to the same unit for easier calculations. Convert the inches to feet;

2 feet + (6 ÷ 12) =  2.5

2 feet and 6 inches in a decimal foot amount equals 2.5 feet

10 ÷ 12 = 0.833

10 inches in a decimal foot amount equals 0.833 feet

Using the above formula:

2.5 * 2.5 *  0.833 * 12 = 62.475

You will need 62.475 cubic feet of concrete to pour these 12 pads.

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.
