Cómo funciona

  1. 1

    Measure the length and width of the porch in feet.

  2. 2

    Measure the thickness in inches.

  3. 3

    Multiply length by width by thickness (converted to feet).

  4. 4

    Divide by 27 to get cubic yards.

round((length * width * (thickness / 12)) / 27 * 100) / 100

Preguntas frecuentes

How do I convert inches to feet?

Divide the thickness in inches by 12 to get feet.

Why divide by 27?

There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard.

Should I order extra concrete?

It's common to order 10% extra to account for spillage and uneven subgrade.

Fórmulas

Las matemáticas detrás de esta calculadora, escritas para que puedas verificar el resultado.

Volume in cubic yards

V = (L × W × T) / 324

L and W are in feet, T is in inches. Dividing by 324 converts cubic inches to cubic yards.

Example:

Input: L=10 ft, W=8 ft, T=4 in

Calculation: (10 × 8 × 4) / 324 = 320 / 324

Result: ≈ 0.99 cu yd

Casos de uso reales

Dónde aparece este cálculo en la vida cotidiana.

Planning a new porch

Estimate concrete needed before ordering from a ready-mix supplier.

Example: A 10x8 ft porch with 4-inch slab.

Budgeting materials

Calculate cost by multiplying volume by local concrete price per cubic yard.

Example: 0.99 cu yd × $150/cu yd ≈ $148.50

Comparing slab thickness

See how changing thickness affects concrete volume and cost.

Example: Increasing from 4 to 6 inches adds about 0.5 cu yd for a 10x8 slab.

Consejos y errores comunes

Tips

  • Measure to the nearest 0.1 foot for accuracy.
  • Add 10% extra for waste and uneven ground.
  • Check local building codes for minimum thickness.
  • Use a concrete calculator for irregular shapes separately.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to convert thickness from inches to feet.
  • Using square feet instead of cubic feet.
  • Not accounting for waste or over-excavation.

Supuestos y limitaciones

  • Use the stated inputs and units.
  • Results are estimates for planning and education.
  • Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
