The Surface Area of a Concrete Wall calculator computes the surface area of concrete forms based on the wall's dimensions (length, height and width). Concrete Forms
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
(L) Length of the wall
(H) Height of the wall
(W) Width (thickness) of the wall
(s) To help with estimating the materials for the forms, this calculator has three options:
one side - this computes the surface area of one side of the wall
two sided - this computes the surface area of both faces of the wall
two sides and edges (default) - the computes the surface area of both faces and the vertical edges
Concrete Form Surface Area: The surface area (sA) is computed in square feet. However, this can be automatically converted into other area units (e.g. square meters) via the pull-down menu.
Concrete forms are used to contain liquid concrete and maintain a shape until the concrete has solidified. In short, it helps the concrete maintain its "form". Forms are typically made of plywood or OSB.
