Formula
length × width × thickness
Result unit: m³

Volume = Length × Width × Thickness. All dimensions converted to meters, result in m³.

Introduction

Calculate the volume of concrete needed for a slab, footing, or rectangular structural element. Add 5-10% extra for waste and uneven subgrade.

Calculation Example

A 10m × 5m × 150mm thick slab requires 7.5 m³ of concrete.

Inputs: length=10, width=5, thickness=150
Result: 7.5 m³

Engineering Applications

  • •Foundation design
  • •Slab construction
  • •Concrete ordering
  • •Cost estimation

Frequently Asked Questions

How much extra concrete should I order?

Add 5-10% to account for waste, over-excavation, and uneven subgrade. For large flatwork, 5% is usually sufficient.

What does 1 m³ of concrete weigh?

Normal weight concrete weighs approximately 2400 kg/m³.
