So funktioniert es
- 1
Convert wall thickness from inches to feet by dividing by 12.
- 2
Multiply length by height by thickness (in feet) to get cubic feet.
- 3
Divide cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards.
- 4
The result is the concrete volume needed.
length * height * (thickness / 12) / 27Häufig gestellte Fragen
Why do I need to convert thickness to feet?
Because length and height are in feet, so thickness must be in feet to get cubic feet.
Should I add extra for waste?
It's common to add 5-10% for waste, but this calculator gives the theoretical volume.
What if my wall has openings?
Subtract the volume of openings from the total before ordering concrete.

Formeln
Die Mathematik hinter diesem Rechner, aufgeschrieben, damit Sie das Ergebnis überprüfen können.
Volume of a rectangular prism
Multiply length, height, and thickness (all in feet) to get volume in cubic feet.
Example:
Input: L=20 ft, H=9 ft, T=1 ft (12 in)
Calculation: 20 × 9 × 1 = 180 ft³
Result: 180 ft³ = 6.67 yd³
Anwendungsfälle im Alltag
Wo diese Berechnung im täglichen Leben vorkommt.
Estimating concrete order
Determine how many cubic yards of concrete to order for a basement wall.
Example: A 30 ft long, 9 ft high, 8 in thick wall needs about 6.67 yd³.
Budgeting material costs
Multiply the volume by the price per cubic yard to estimate cost.
Example: At $150/yd³, 6.67 yd³ costs about $1,000.
Comparing wall designs
See how changing thickness or height affects concrete volume.
Example: Increasing thickness from 8 to 12 inches adds about 3.33 yd³ for a 30×9 wall.
Tipps und häufige Fehler
Tips
- Always measure in feet for length and height, and inches for thickness.
- Add 5-10% extra for waste and spillage.
- Check with your supplier for local pricing and delivery fees.
- Consider using a concrete calculator for footings separately.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to convert thickness to feet.
- Using inches for all dimensions without conversion.
- Not accounting for openings or recesses.
Annahmen und Einschränkungen
- Use the stated inputs and units.
- Results are estimates for planning and education.
- Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
