Calculating volume of concrete, dirt, sand, anything. 2006-11-17
From Debbie:
[This article contains a special calculator to help you find the volume (for example, the cubic yards) of material required to fill (or empty) a space if you know the length, width and depth.]
We are wanting to pour a 24'x30' slab that is 5" deep. How many cubic yards of cement do we need?

A concrete slab 2005-07-29
From Armand:
I am planning to pour a concrete slab over an existing slab in my garage
which is very uneven, with a depth variation from 2 1/2 inches to 5 1/2
inches from level. I'm afraid to over estimate concrete since it will be
wasted but worse, I'm afraid to underestimate. I've broken the slab down
into four sections with the following being the four dimensions, can you
tell me how much concrete I will need please, I would very much
appreciate your help.
1- 6ft/8in x 20ft x 4 1/2 in. thick
2- 16ft/10in. x 20ft x 3 1/2 in. thick
3- 6ft/6in. x 16in. x 5 1/2 in. thick
4- 6ft/6in. x 8ft. x 4in. thick
