The Volume of a Concrete Footer calculator computes the volume of concrete in a footer.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (L) Length of Footer
- (W) Width of Footer
- (D) Depth of Footer
Concrete volume in footer (V): The calculator returns the volume of concrete in cubic yards. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu. The calculator also returns the equivalent volume in number of bags of concrete in different bag sizes:
- 40lb bags
- 60lb bags
- 80lb bags
The Math / Science
The volume of concrete in a footer is computed as follows:
V = L * W * D
where:
- V = Volume of Concrete in a Footer
- L = Length of Footer Channel
- W = Width of Footer Channel
- D = Depth of Footer Channel
- Blocks in a Foundation: Computes the number of blocks needed for a foundation based on the dimensions of the foundation and the size of the blocks with a standard size mortar joint.
- Concrete in a Poured Foundation: Computes the volume of concrete, the square feet of the forms and the number of 4'x8's needed for the forms.
- Concrete in a Wall: Computes the volume of concrete in a wall based on the dimensions.
- Concrete in a Footer: Computes the volume of concrete for a footer based on the length, width and depth of the footer.
- Concrete in a Footer (Cross Section): Computes the volume of concrete for a footer based on the length and cross-section area of a footer
- Concrete in a Pier: Computes the volume of concrete in a circular pier based on the radius and depth of the pier.
- Piers for a Building: Computes the number of piers and volume of concrete need for the piers of a building (e.g., pole barn) base on the building dimensions, pier spacing, diameter and depth.
- Concrete around Circular Post: Computes the volume of concrete around a number of round posts in a round hole based on the size of the hole and dimensions of the post.
- Concrete around Square Post: Computes the volume of concrete around a number of square post (e.g., 6x6) in round hole based on the dimensions of the post, depth and width of the round hole.
- Water Needed for Concrete: Computes the water volume needed to mix concrete.
- Price of Bulk Concrete: Computes the price of bulk concrete including delivery based on mileage and on-site pumping cost.
